Maybe post a log of what's happening at startup. I would check to see if the datasource you configured is actually being created successfully. Can you inject the datasource and use it directly to confirm it has been created?
Also what is your skepticism about JavaEE? Are you happy with Java, just not EE, or something else? Maybe you're a fan of spring? Historically alot of people got turned off by jee by version 1 and 2 and alot of those people went to spring. ejb3 fixed up all the things that were wrong with the previous versions and now with the availability of tomee, you can have a super lightweight container to run things in. I meet alot of spring users that haven't looked at EJB since they got disillusioned by ejb2 and fat containers (weblogic, websphere etc), they found spring and aren't aware of the fact that jee + tomee now provides a compelling and in many ways better option. -- View this message in context: http://openejb.979440.n4.nabble.com/tomee-tryout-datasource-with-jpa-drives-me-crazy-tp4654667p4655218.html Sent from the OpenEJB User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
