I do not have time to download and analyze the package layout of a deployment. The JPA bootstrap (Persistence.createEntityMangerFactory(...)), I believe, uses thread context classloader to load the provider's implementation (i.e. OpenJPA classes). So make sure that Persistence.createEntityMangerFactory(...) is called by a thread whose context classloader can load OpenJPA classes. Given different classloading regime in JEE/Servlet or other containers, I am sorry that I can not give you a more accurate answer.
