Hibernate + LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean Issue

[mojo85]

I'm currently using the LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean with a JPA adapter, using Hibernate as the JPA Vendor.

My setup is as follows:

     <bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
        <property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory"/>
    </bean>

    <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.PersistenceAnnotationBeanPostProcessor"/>

    <bean class="org.springframework.dao.annotation.PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor"/>

    <bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
        <property name="driverClassName" value="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver"/>
        <property name="url" value="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://some-server.com:1433/MyDatabase"/>
        <property name="username" value="dbAdmin"/>
        <property name="password" value="dbAdminPassword"/>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
        <property name="persistenceUnitName" value="MyApplicationPersistanceUnitName"/>
        <property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
            <bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
                <property name="databasePlatform" value="org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect"/>
                <property name="generateDdl" value="false"/>
                <property name="showSql" value="false"/>
            </bean>
        </property>
        <property name="jpaProperties"> 
			<props> 
				<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect</prop> 
			</props> 
		</property> 
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
    </bean>

When I run the above with Jetty or WebSphere, it works great, but when I run it with Apache Geronimo, I get this exception:

javax.persistance.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.HibernateExceptoin: Hibernate Dialect must be explicitly set...

anyone have some insight as to why this might be happening?

alright, so 5min after posting this, I figured this out.

I've basicly forgot to put the dialect in the META-INF/persistence.xml.

But it still boggles my mind, why didn't Jetty or WebSphere complain about this?
