Hi,

I have an application with added derby.jar, added eclipselink.jar and
javax.persistence.jar from eclipse eclipselink-2.0.0.v20090731-r4765
installtion zip.
I have entity class and some usage of this class and got different ind
of message when try to use it like:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: An
exception occurred while creating a query in EntityManager:
Exception Description: Error compiling the query [select object(o) from
DiscountCode as o]. Unknown entity type [DiscountCode].
///
Caused by: Exception [EclipseLink-8034] (Eclipse Persistence Services -
2.0.0.v20090731-r4765): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.JPQLException
Exception Description: Error compiling the query [select object(o) from
DiscountCode as o]. Unknown entity type [DiscountCode].
///

sometimes (may be with different version of eclipselink I have also
message about missed "@Entity annotation"

What may be wrong?

- javax.persisten.jar is for jpa 2.0

- if I replace eclipselink with either toplink or hibernate(not sure
with version) all works. i.e. add toplink/hibernate libraries and
replace provider/properties in persistence.xml.

Did you try listing your entity classes in persistence xml?

To do that you need to add a "class" child to your persistnce xml before
the <properties> child like this.

<persistence-unit name="some_pu" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider >

<class>org.package.[...].DiscountCode</class>
<class>org.package.SomeOtherClass</class>
<properties>
<property name="eclipselink.jdbc.driver"
value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" />
[...]

I remember that when I switched to EL from Hibernate that I had to list
my classes as EL whas complaining about not knowing my entites. That
helped. EL seems to be more strict concerning unlisted entites as other
ORM's.

Later,

Tom

see my persistence.xml in first message, it contain
<class>javaapplication8.DiscountCode</class>

I tried also to add <exclude-unlisted-classes> and still no success.
Wonder if it's an issue in eclipselink 2.0 m6, may be usage of jpa 2.0
javax (from eclipselink bundle) affect this too.

It's ok.

This is an odd error, it seems your classpath may be corrupt, or have
issues. Are you in a basic JSE environment, or are you using something
like Spring or OSGI?

EclipseLink 2.0 has been extensively tested in a JSE environment, so there
is something wrong with your configuration. Is your persistence unit in a
jar? It should be deployed in a jar with the persistence.xml in the
META-INF directory and the entity classes inside their correct packages in
the jar.

Your error says, "select object(o) from DiscountCode as o"

But your code has, "SELECT d FROM DiscountCode d"

So it seems your have your classes on the classpath twice, or something is
corrupt in your environment.

Perhaps try one of the EclipseLink examples first.

Can you point me to some examples with complete configuration steps?

For example
1. I found some config on
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Configuring_a_EclipseLink_JPA_Applic ation_(ELUG)

but it says only about eclipse.jar but this one jar do not contain
jpa2.0 api.

2. there are eclipselink.jar and persistence.jar on
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/JSF_Tutoria l
and
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/RCP

but eclpselink.zip (2.0.0 M6) (installation archive) do not contain
persistence.jar, I'm using javax.persistence_2.0_preview.jar instead.
