In my project I need to be able to create a dynamic entity which extends a regular entity. The dynamic/virtual entity definition is loaded at startup from a configuration database (not using eclipselink). For this I've created a XMLMetadataSource which provides eclipselink with the dynamic entity definition, however startup fails b/c eclipselink is using the real classloader instead of the dynamic classloader. I'm using EclipseLink 2.4.0.
Code from Metadatasource:
EntityAccessor accessor = new EntityAccessor();
accessor.setName("SubProject");
//dynamic entity
accessor.setClassName("com.foo.SubProject");
//regular entity, see com/foo/Project.java
accessor.setParentClassName("com.foo.Project");
accessor.setAccess("VIRTUAL");
accessor.setDiscriminatorValue("SP");
List<SecondaryTableMetadata> secondaryTables = new ArrayList<SecondaryTableMetadata>();
SecondaryTableMetadata table = new SecondaryTableMetadata();
table.setName("pln_sub_project");
secondaryTables.add(table);
accessor.setSecondaryTables(secondaryTables);
//based on Metadatasource example
addExtension(accessor, new Extension("com.foo.SubProject", "java.lang.String", "foo"));
mappings.getEntities().add(accessor);
The problem seems to be here in EntityManagerSetupImpl#deploy(Classloader, Map)
processor.setClassLoader(realClassLoader);
processor.createDynamicClasses();
The processor ends up using the realClassLoader instead of the dynamic class loader supplied in PersistenceUnit properties resulting in the following error:
