Cloud JPA EMF predeploy does not find unlisted entities - works locally

Michael OBrien

Cloud developers,
I am seeing SE like behavior running a JTA persistence unit in the WAR - the Java EE 6 spec mandates EE container managed behavior - which is what I see running locally on my WebLogic OEPE server.
On the Cloud WLS I require the following in persistence.xml - just like i am running a RESOURCE_LOCAL pu - but I am running a JTA EMF.

<!-- not required on a standalone WLS server -->
_<class>org.obrienlabs.opendatalink.model.Record</class>_
_<class>org.obrienlabs.opendatalink.model.URISite</class>_
<exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>


On a local WebLogic 12.1.1.0 server everything works fine and the predeploy of the persistence unit picks up the annotated @Entity/@MappedSuperclass classes fine - without specifying them - the standard for managed persistence units. It is almost like dynamic weaving is off on the cloud instance.

Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("JPAServletPU").getMetamodel().toString();

See my custom Metamodel toString() in http://bugs.eclipse.org/266912 that can be used to verify the correct number of entities and other relational metadata is loaded.
JPA Metamodel: [email protected] [ 7 Types: , 4 ManagedTypes: , 2 EntityTypes: , 2 MappedSuperclassTypes: , 0 EmbeddableTypes: ]

My issue with the truncated version of WLS 12c running on the oracle cloud is that everything annotated does not seem to be picked up - only XML configuration seems to be working - or pre-instrumented weaved entities in the case of JPA.
How can I get the EJB container to kick in a proper predeploy without resorting to static weaving.

Is there a set of extended examples beyond the SDK that has verified EAR templates containing Web Profile and full EE 6 examples for deployment of EJB beans both in the ejb.jar and the war (I understand EJB 3.1 is removed from the the cloud instance). This could match the supported/unsupported list below.
