Thanks for getting back to me. The enhancement link is relevant, but as I 
mentioned in the original mail, I thought I'd already brought in runtime 
enhancement using the OpenJPA agent.

Using Java invocation would be hugely preferable. Can I manually configure the 
MethodInterceptor capabilities of a Dependency Injector to explicitly trigger 
whatever augmentation is needed, as described here? Are there examples of this 
being done elsewhere?

To achieve enhancement I used a post-compile enhance.xml Ant task, combined 
with 
-javaagent:lib/openjpa/openjpa-all-2.0.1.jar=jdoEnhance=true,scanDevPath=true 
passed to the VM on launch. At this stage I've no idea which of these is 
actually doing the enhancement and how, which is why I'm working to avoid a 
skyhook programming model.

All the mechanisms seem to rely on the use of a persistence.xml file in 
META-INF - pretty unsatisfactory to drop out of Java and into a type-unsafe 
serialisation language, but I can't find an alternative mechanism. To get it 
working I've resorted to a manual list of strings inside <class></class> 
elements. All classes (including abstract mapped superclasses) had to be listed 
here, so the inheritance structures in Java weren't being employed either!

Is there a way to simply pass a list of classes into a Java method in an 
unmodified VM, recursively trigger introspection of a whole package or even 
have my java persistence invocations configure things? The MethodInterceptor 
model would be the ideal way to go for me, but I don't want to go so far under 
the hood that it clicks shut behind me.

How are you enhancing your classes? Please take a read through this page[1].
