I have a application with spring 3.1.0, hibernate 4.0 and jboss 7.1.1
Aim - Dynamic expansion of properties to load persistence unit .
<bean id="propertyPlaceholder" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="searchSystemEnvironment" value="true" />
<property name="locations">
<list>
<value> file:/${PROPERTY_HOME}/jpa/kundera_jpa.properties</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean" >
<property name="persistenceXmlLocation" value="classpath:./META-INF/persistence.xml"/>
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="cassandra"/>
<property name="persistenceProvider" >
<bean class="com.impetus.kundera.KunderaPersistence" />
</property>
<property name="jpaProperties">
<props>
<prop key="kundera.nodes">${cassandra.kundera.nodes}</prop>
<prop key="kundera.port">${cassandra.kundera.port}</prop>
<prop key="kundera.keyspace">${cassandra.kundera.keyspace}</prop>
<prop key="kundera.dialect">${cassandra.kundera.dialect}</prop>
<prop key="kundera.client.lookup.class">${cassandra.kundera.client.lookup.class}</prop>
<prop key="jboss.as.jpa.providerModule">com.impetus.kundera</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
persistence.xml
<persistence-unit name="cassandra">
<properties>
<property name="jboss.as.jpa.managed" value="false"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
Now with 'jboss.as.jpa.managed' , i am stopping hibernate of jboss to load the cassandra unit automatically . I am able to successfully load the properties via above definaion of my bean . But while runtime my entity 'UsageItem' is generating the following exception
org.hibernate.hql.internal.ast.QuerySyntaxException: UsageItem is not mapped
But strangely the same code is working if i manually hard code the properties in persistence.xml -
<persistence-unit name="cassandra">
<provider>com.impetus.kundera.KunderaPersistence</provider>
<properties>
<property name="kundera.nodes" value="172.16.9.70" />
<property name="kundera.port" value="9160" />
<property name="kundera.keyspace" value="iaas" />
<property name="kundera.dialect" value="cassandra" />
<property name="kundera.client.lookup.class" value="com.example.client.cassandra.pelops.JCPelopsClientFactory" />
<property name="jboss.as.jpa.providerModule" value="com.impetus.kundera"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
While when i am hardcoding as in above persistence.xml, i am saying hibernate to load the Persistence-unit , which he is operating perfectly fine . I think spring is not able to load the metadata of my entity 'UsageItem' .I dont know what i am missing with spring that he is not allowing me to move forward . One week now but still stuck .
