I want to try 3.5 but i have recieved the error below.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceUnitInfo.getValidationMode()Ljavax/persistence/ValidationMode;

How can i solve this problem?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have solved the problem with adding the parameter "<wls:package-name>javax.persistence.*</wls:package-name>" in weblogic-application.xml
but now i am getting :

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence cannot be cast to javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider

well, the thread is a bit old, but if anybody is still struggling with jpa2 an wls 10.3, here is a simple solution: The problem can be fixed if you rename persistence.xml to some other name, say foo.xml and thus bypassing weblogic autodiscovery. I dit it with spring 3.0.4 (spring <3 don't work)

<bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="foo"/>
<property name="persistenceXmlLocation" value="classpath:META-INF/foo.xml"/>
</bean>

and in weblogic-application.xml:

<prefer-application-packages>
<package-name>antlr.*</package-name>
<package-name>org.apache.commons.*</package-name>
<package-name>org.apache.xmlbeans.*</package-name>
<package-name>org.springframework.*</package-name>
<package-name>org.hibernate.*</package-name>
<package-name>javax.persistence.*</package-name>
</prefer-application-packages

Thanks for you post. I am able to deploy in weblogic. Now i am trying JPA+hibernate without Spring. In this case, how can we load the entitymanager from persistence.xml. any idea?
