[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-482?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12500131 ] Craig Russell commented on JDO-482: ----------------------------------- Nice work. I'd like to see the message improved for EXC_GetPMFNoClassNameProperty=A property named javax.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactoryClass must be specified. Can you add to this message? EXC_GetPMFNoClassNameProperty=A property named javax.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactoryClass must be specified, \ or the jar file with the default META-INF/services/javax.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactory entry must be in the classpath. > JDOHelper.getPersistenceManagerFactory should be enhanced to use service lookup > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JDO-482 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-482 > Project: JDO > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: api2, api2-legacy > Affects Versions: JDO 2 maintenance release 1 > Reporter: Matthew T. Adams > Assignee: Matthew T. Adams > Attachments: jdo-482.patch > > > Looking up a persistence unit (AKA named PMF) via JDOHelper.getPersistenceManagerFactory should use service lookup (META-INF/services/javax.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactory) as part of its strategy to bootstrap the JDO environment. This has implications on the code checked in as of this writing because it throws an exception if the javax.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactoryClass property (or its corresponding attribute "class") is not given in either the META-INF/jdoconfig.xml or a properties file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
