Error: configure Could not find persistence.xml

[Student]

Hi All,

I am trying to test the following code:

@Transactional
public void updateT(Testtbl pTest) { 
EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("test"); 
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
em.getTransaction().begin();
em.createNativeQuery( "UPDATE Testtbl e SET e.firstName = 'xxx'").executeUpdate(); 
em.getTransaction().commit();
em.close();
emf.close();
}

As you can see this method may update my Testbl table, but when I run the project, the websphere consol returns the following error:

org.hibernate.ejb.Ejb3Configuration configure Could not find any META-INF/persistence.xml file in the classpath

The file where I configure the persistence is named META-INF/spring-persistence.xml

my spring-persistence.xml is the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="1.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence">
	<persistence-unit name="test" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
		<!--  provider -->
		<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
		<properties>
			<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
			<property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="true"/>
			<property name="use_sql_comments" value="false"/>
			<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.InformixDialect" />
		</properties>
	</persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Student

Afaik you cannot arbitrarily name this file as it is specified to be "META-INF/persistence.xml". So I suggest giving it its default name and things should work as expected.

Ok, I'll try it.
