I'm trying to do a JPA programmatic setup in a stand alone java application. Searching the documentation and web I only found an approach that uses Ejb3Configuration. The steps are simple

Ejb3Configuration cfg = new Ejb3Configuration();
cfg.setProperty("hibernate.show_sql", "true");
...
cfg.setProperty("hibernate.connection.driver_class", "com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver");
...
cfg.addAnnotatedClass(Article.class);
...
EntityManagerFactory lEntityManagerFactory = cfg.buildEntityManagerFactory();

This works ok. The Article class is loaded and recognized as being an entity:

List lArticles = lEntityManager.createQuery("from Article where articlenr < 103").getResultList();

But then a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/security/jacc/EJBMethodPermission occurs... Right. That is a JEE 1.4 method, provided by the container. Which I do not have since this is a stand alone application.

So: how do I do a JPA standalone setup? I do not mind if the startup uses Hibernate code, only that the actual entities are JPA.



Hibernate version: hibernate3.2.0b9

Name and version of the database you are using:
Informix 10

The generated SQL (show_sql=true):
Hibernate:
select
article0_.articlenr as articlenr0_,
article0_.description as descript2_0_,
...
from
article article0_
where
articlenr<103

add jacc.jar to your classpath.

Rrrrrrright. Well, that was not easy. In the end I found a 8MB jar called jboss-ejb3-all.jar in the caveatemptor-jpa demo.

To the next exception.

Thanks.

Hmmmm.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No PolicyContextHandler for key=javax.security.auth.Subject.container

I'm getting the creepy feeling that somewhere I'm trying to emulate a EJB3 container here, which is what I'm trying to avoid.

would it not be simpler to just use the jacc-1_0-fr.jar found in hibernate lib directory that is 24 kb ? :)

It would if it were there. I'll go out and download another distribution. Thanks.

huh ? What distribution are you looking in that does not have that file ?

Nope. Hibernate3.2.0b9 it says here.

The 3.2.3ga release does have the file you mention. When that is used instead of the ejb3-all, the following class is missing:

org/jboss/util/id/SerialVersion

I've unpacked all 3.2.3ga JARs in the lib directory and am searching for a file name like that, but it only finds SerialVersionUID in the javassist jar.

The SerialVersion class is included in the already mentioned 8MB jboss-ejb3-all.jar.

<edit>
The SerialVersion should be available in jboss-common-4.0.2.jar
</edit>

There have never been a release of Hibernate with that name AFAIK.
That looks much more like Hibernate Tools to me!

Please show the stacktrace so I can see what is actually triggering that error.

Yes, sorry, of course.

If you are just looking for running JPA in J2SE then reading
http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/entit ... ml_single/ and searchign for J2SE might be a more efficient way of doing this ;)

use of Ejb3Configuration is more if you want to use the autodiscovery features but not use the JPA API.

I wanted to prevent having to maintain everything multiple times (for dev, test and production). But I've aborted my programmatic setup and will use a hibrate approach:

"The map version is a set of overrides that will take precedence over any properties defined in your persistence.xml files."

The approach still doesn't work, but this will work for me. Thanks for your help.
