Hi,
I'm wondering if I could get some clarification on this method from someone
who's used this? I always seem to get a null back. If I make call this
method
URL xxx = getClass().getResource("/META-INF/persistence.xml");, I get a
valid url that has a fully qualified path to the persistence.xml. But, I
haven't been able to turn around and use that path as the resource in the
createEntityManagerFactory method. Is the string "resource" parameter meant
to be a file path? If not, what?
Thanks
Brian
