I have re-written my entire question with my latest configuration. I have been changing and testing multiple times and still have not found the proper solution.
I am having difficulty enabling load-time-weaving for jpa class enhancement in my project.
I am using Websphere 8.5 which in turn uses openjpa 2.2.2. I have one Ear file with one War and many dependant jars that contain JPA entities and custom named persistence.xml files.
like so:
MyApp.ear
|-- lib ## contains spring files and other shared libraries
|-- utilJars ## contains my custom made utility jars
| |-- core.jar ## core-persistence.xml
| |-- core-api.jar ## core entities
| |-- mod1.jar ## mod1-persistence.xml
| |-- mod1-api.jar ## mod1 entities
| `-- control.jar ## depends on all above jars (in **`MANIFEST.MF`**),
| `contains the main application context (`control-context.xml`) config shown below
`-- MyWeb.war
My main context file in control.jar called control-context.xml is as follows:

I am using a merging persistence unit manager provided by spring to combine the persistence unit declarations in the custom persistence unit xml's located under META-INF/<module-name>/<module-name>-persistence.xml folder of each jar. e.g. META-INF/core/core-persistence.xml.
here is one such file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/jsc/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd" version="2.0">
<persistence-unit name="onePU">
<class>com.example.myapp.core.model.MyEntity</class>
<class>com.example.myapp.core.model.MyEntityId</class>
<exclude-unlisted-classes>true</exclude-unlisted-classes>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
My entities all have @Entity and proper @Id tags and what not, They have been working as entities before and I haven't modified them, so I'm sure that my entities are valid.
And now for the QUESTION:
I have a spring rest jpa resource repository set up in my mod1 jar that uses the oneEMF:
<jpa:repositories base-package="com.example.myapp.mod1.model.repositories" entity-manager-factory-ref="oneEMF" />
when i hit the url after the application is deployed and started, I get this message:
Error 500: org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed;
`-- nested exception is org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaSystemException: No registered metadata for type "class com.example.myapp.core.model.MyEntity". This can happen if this class has not been annotated as a persistent entity or specified in the persistence unit (ex: in the orm.xml). ;
`-- nested exception is <openjpa-2.2.2-SNAPSHOT-r422266:1462076 nonfatal general error> org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceException: No registered metadata for type "class com.example.myapp.core.model.MyEntity". This can happen if this class has not been annotated as a persistent entity or specified in the persistence unit (ex: in the orm.xml).
Why are my entities not enhancing at load time?
I have lost many hours attempting to configure this supposedly simple setup, however I am at a loss as to why the enhancement is not occuring for me. any help or even sympathy would be much appreciated.
UPDATE:
placing a dummy persistence.xml in the META-INF directory of my war classes folder has managed to trigger the entity scanning, but from what I've read, I don't need the persistence.xml if I am using packagesToScan with spring. Does this package scanning refer to entities that will be enhanced by the load-time-weaver?
Thank you for your time.
