Windows, Linux or Unix? The SQL matches what we'd use for DB2 on one of
those OSes, we use different SQL for DB2 on z/os or i/os though.

How many EntityManagers and EntityManagerFactories does your application
create?

The container will look for entities in certain locations in an EAR. The
details can be found in section 8.2 of the JPA 2.0 specification, here's a
quick cut and paste of the highlights:

A persistence unit may be packaged within one or more jar files contained
within a WAR or EAR, as a
set of classes within an EJB-JAR file or in the WAR classes directory, or a=
s
a combination of these
as defined below.
A persistence unit is defined by a persistence.xml file. The jar file or
directory whose
META-INF directory contains the persistence.xml file is termed the root of
the persistence unit.
In Java EE environments, the root of a persistence unit must be one of the
following:
=95 an EJB-JAR file
=95 the WEB-INF/classes directory of a WAR file[80]
=95 a jar file in the WEB-INF/lib directory of a WAR file
=95 a jar file in the EAR library directory
=95 an application client jar file

If you've packaged the entity classes in some other location the container
might not enhance them for you. The results may vary from application serve=
r
to application server - I'm not sure offhand what the rules are for WAS v7
though.

I just wanted to mention it in case you happened to package the entities in
a different location.

WebSphere version 7.0 (without the JPA 2.0 Feature Pack) includes OpenJPA
version 1.2. It doesn't include OpenJPA version 1.0. There are a couple of
interesting differences between OpenJPA 1.0, and 1.2 (for example SQL
statement batching).

It sounds like you want to use JPA 2.0 though, so this isn't an issue for
you. Just trying to save some confusion down the road if you went with a
'vanilla' WebSphere v7.0 install.
