I think Richard's configuration is correct. The only catch, which he pointed out, is that you do have to specify the DBDictionary to use. Maybe I missed something though?
I'm not sure whether having to specify the DBDictionary is the result of the automagic connection pool support, but for the time being we should update the documentation to reflect this requirement. In case I missed something, here's the persistence unit from the openjpa-slice module that I used to reproduce the problem : http://pastebin.com/W47zy9ms -mike On Wed, Aug 3, 2011 at 10:05 AM, Pinaki Poddar <ppod...@apache.org> wrote: > The connection pooling can be configured for each slice as you would do > normally [1] for a single database.
