Error when Deploying Spring JPA in a runtime environment

[sheadley]

Hi all,

I am trying to deploy my application and keep getting "Invalid XML in persistence unit f
rom class path resource [META-INF/persistence.xml]" error on deployment. Here is the relevant part of my entityManagerFactory configuration:

First off all start by removing all the duplicate stuff.

The stuff in red you don't need it, the stuff in blue is useless because you override those in your application context.

In your configuration you don't need to the bean named 'persistenceUnitManager' because it is the default which doesn't need configuring.

After doing that, try again and please post full stacktrace. You could also try moving everything to the spring configuration and create an almost empty persistence.xml file.
