All,

I'm having trouble with getting eclipselink and spring server dm working.

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/persistence/jpa/PersistenceProvider
at org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.EclipseLinkJpaV endorAdapter.<init>(EclipseLinkJpaVendorAdapter.ja va:51)



1- I deployed the osgi eclipselink 1.1 version in
springsource-dm-server-1.0.0.RELEASE\repository\bundles\usr

2- The jpa persistence jpa has the following export: (Which includes the org.eclipse.persistence.jpa)

3- My own bundle creates the EclipseLinkVendorAdapter bean and import-package org.eclipse.persistence.jpa

My questions are:
What & Why is it not seeing the org.eclipse.persistence.jpa classes? [I am guessing the spring bundles aren't seeing the eclipselink osgi bundles] So I tried moving the eclipselink bundles to
springsource-dm-server-1.0.0.RELEASE\repository\bundles\ext
and the problem persists...

Any ideas? Is this because spring framework doesn't import the eclipselink bundle? Any ways around this? I will dig into the samples one of which seems to do exactly what I'm doing. I don't quite understand.
