I have my persistence.xml with the same name using TopLink under the META-INF directory.
Then, I have my code calling it with:
EntityManagerFactory emfdb = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("agisdb");
Yet, I got the following error message:
2009-07-21 09:22:41,018 [main] ERROR - No Persistence provider for EntityManager named agisdb
javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named agisdb
at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:89)
at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:60)
Here is the persistence.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" version="1.0">
<persistence-unit name="agisdb">
<class>com.agis.livedb.domain.AddressEntity</class>

<property name="toplink.jdbc.password" value="password"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
It should have been in the classpath. Yet, I got the above error.
Put the "hibernate-entitymanager.jar" in the classpath of application.
For newer versions, you should use "hibernate-core.jar" instead of the deprecated hibernate-entitymanager
If you are running through some IDE, like Eclipse: Project Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries.
Otherwise put it in the /lib of your application.
After <persistence-unit name="agisdb">, define the persistence provider name:
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
Make sure that the persistence.xml file is in the directory: <webroot>/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF
Faced the same issue and couldn't find solution for quite a long time. In my case it helped to replace
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
with
<provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>
Took solution from here
I needed this in my pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
<version>4.2.6.Final</version>
</dependency>
There is another point: If you face this problem within an Eclipse RCP environment, you might have to change the Factory generation from Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory to new PersistenceProvider().createEntityManagerFactory
see ECF for a detailed discussion on this.
Maybe you defined one provider like <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider> but referencing another one in jar. That happened with me: my persistence.xml provider was openjpa but I was using eclipselink in my classpath.
Hope this help!
Quick advice:
check if persistence.xml is in your classpath
check if hibernate provider is in your classpath
With using JPA in standalone application (outside of JavaEE), a persistence provider needs to be specified somewhere. This can be done in two ways that I know of:
either add provider element into the persistence unit: <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider> (as described in correct answere by Chris: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1285436/784594)
or provider for interface javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider must be specified as a service, see here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/ServiceLoader.html (this is usually included when you include hibernate,or another JPA implementation, into your classpath
In my case, I found out that due to maven misconfiguration, hibernate-entitymanager jar was not included as a dependency, even if it was a transient dependency of other module.
If you are using Eclipse make sure that exclusion pattern does not remove your persistence.xml from source folders on build path.
Go to Properties -> Java Build Path -> Source tab
Check your exclusion pattern which is located atMyProject/src/main/java -> Excluded: <your_pattern>tree node
Optionally, set it to Excluded: (None) by selecting the node and clicking Edit... button on the left.
I'm some years late to the party here but I hit the same exception while trying to get Hibernate 3.5.1 working with HSQLDB and a desktop JavaFX program. I got it to work with the help of this thread and a lot of trial and error. It seems you get this error for a whole variety of problems:
No Persistence provider for EntityManager named mick
I tried building the hibernate tutorial examples but because I was using Java 10 I wasn't able to get them to build and run easily. I gave up on that, not really wanting to waste time fixing its problems. Setting up a module-info.java file (Jigsaw) is another hairball many people haven't discovered yet.
Somewhat confusing is that these (below) were the only two files I needed in my build.gradle file. The Hibernate documentation isn't clear about exactly which Jars you need to include. Entity-manager was causing confusion and is no longer required in the latest Hibernate version, and neither is javax.persistence-api. Note, I'm using Java 10 here so I had to include the jaxb-api, to get around some xml-bind errors, as well as add an entry for the java persistence module in my module-info.java file.
Build.gradle
// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate/hibernate-core
compile('org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.3.1.Final')
// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.xml.bind/jaxb-api
compile group: 'javax.xml.bind', name: 'jaxb-api', version: '2.3.0'
Module-info.java
// Used for HsqlDB - add the hibernate-core jar to build.gradle too
requires java.persistence;
With hibernate 5.3.1 you don't need to specify the provider, below, in your persistence.xml file. If one is not provided the Hibernate provider is chosen by default.
<provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>
The persistence.xml file should be located in the correct directory so:
src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml
Stepping through the hibernate source code in the Intellij debugger, where it checks for a dialect, also threw the exact same exception, because of a missing dialect property in the persistence.xml file. I added this (add the correct one for your DB type):
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect"/>
I still got the same exception after this, so stepping through the debugger again in Intellij revealed the test entity I was trying to persist (simple parent-child example) had missing annotations for the OneToMany, ManyToOne relationships. I fixed this and the exception went away and my entities were persisted ok.
Here's my full final persistence.xml:
<persistence xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence

I probably wasted about half a day on this gem. My advice would be to start very simple - a single test entity with one or two fields, as it seems like this exception can have many causes.
Corner case: if you are using m2Eclipse, it automatically puts in excludes on your resources folders. Then when you try to run tests inside eclipse, the subsequent absence of persistence.xml will produce this error.
Make sure you have created persistence.xml file under the 'src' folder. I created under the project folder and that was my problem.
If you're using Maven, it could be that it is not looking at the right place for the META-INF folder. Others have mentioned copying the folder, but another way that worked for me was to tell Maven where to look for it, using the <resources> tag. See: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/resource-directory.html
It happenes when the entity manager is trying to point to many persistence units. Do the following steps:
open the related file in your editor (provided your project has been closed in your IDE)
delete all the persistence and entity manager related code
save the file
open the project in your IDE
now bind the db or table of your choice
I faced the same problem, but on EclipseLink version 2.5.0.
I solved my problem by adding yet another jar file which was necessarily (javax.persistence_2.1.0.v201304241213.jar.jar);
Jars needed:
- javax.persistence_2.1.0.v201304241213.jar
- eclipselink.jar
- jdbc.jar (depending on the database used).
I hope this helps.
I also had this error but the issue was the namespace uri in the persistence.xml.
I replaced http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence to http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence and the version 2.1 to 2.0.
It's now working.
You need to add the hibernate-entitymanager-x.jar in the classpath.
In Hibernate 4.x, if the jar is present, then no need to add the org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence in persistence.xml file.
In my case, previously I use idea to generate entity by database schema, and the persistence.xml is automatically generated in src/main/java/META-INF,and according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/23890419/10701129, I move it to src/main/resources/META-INF, also marked META-INF as source root. It works for me.
But just simply marking original META-INF(that is, src/main/java/META-INF) as source root, doesn't work, which confuses me.
and this is the structre:
The question has been answered already, but just wanted to post a tip that was holding me up. This exception was being thrown after previous errors. I was getting this:
property toplink.platform.class.name is deprecated, property toplink.target-database should be used instead.
Even though I had changed the persistence.xml to include the new property name:
<property name="toplink.target-database" value="oracle.toplink.platform.database.oracle.Oracle10Platform"/>
Following the message about the deprecated property name I was getting the same PersistenceException like above and a whole other string of exceptions. My tip: make sure to check the beginning of the exception sausage.
There seems to be a bug in Glassfish v2.1.1 where redeploys or undeploys and deploys are not updating the persistence.xml, which is being cached somewhere. I had to restart the server and then it worked.
In an OSGi-context, it's necessary to list your persistence units in the bundle's MANIFEST.MF, e.g.
JPA-PersistenceUnits: my-persistence-unit
Otherwise, the JPA-bundle won't know your bundle contains persistence units.
See http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/OSGi/Developing_with_EclipseLink_OSGi_in_PDE .
You need the following jar files in the classpath:

please note the name < persistance-unit > tag, name is mentioned as "sample". This name needs to be used exactly same while loading your

Now create a Entity class. with name as per my example UserDetail, in the package org.pramod.data.object
UserDetail.java
package org.pramod.data.object;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
#Entity
#Table(name = "user_detail")
public class UserDetail {
#Id
#Column(name="user_id")
private int id;
#Column(name="user_name")
private String userName;
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getUserName() {
return userName;
}
public void setUserName(String userName) {
this.userName = userName;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "UserDetail [id=" + id + ", userName=" + userName + "]";
}
}
Now create a class with main method.
HibernateTest.java
package org.pramod.hibernate;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
import javax.persistence.Persistence;
import org.pramod.data.object.UserDetail;
public class HibernateTest {
private static EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory;
public static void main(String[] args) {
UserDetail user = new UserDetail();
user.setId(1);
user.setUserName("Pramod Sharma");
try {
entityManagerFactory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("sample");
EntityManager entityManager = entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager();
entityManager.getTransaction().begin();
entityManager.persist( user );
entityManager.getTransaction().commit();
System.out.println("successfull");
entityManager.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Output will be
UserDetail [id=1, userName=Pramod Sharma]
Hibernate: drop table if exists user_details
Hibernate: create table user_details (user_id integer not null, user_name varchar(255), primary key (user_id))
Hibernate: insert into user_details (user_name, user_id) values (?, ?)
successfull
If there are different names in Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("JPAService") in different classes than you get the error. By refactoring it is possible to get different names which was in my case. In one class the auto-generated Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("JPAService")in private void initComponents(), ContactsTable class differed from Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("JPAServiceExtended") in DBManager class.
Mine got resolved by adding info in persistence.xml e.g. <provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider> and then making sure you have the library on classpath e.g. in Maven add dependency like
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>eclipselink</artifactId>
<version>2.5.0</version>
</dependency>
Verify the peristent unit name
<persistence-unit name="com.myapp.model.jpa"
transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
public static final String PERSISTENCE_UNIT_NAME = "com.myapp.model.jpa";
Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(**PERSISTENCE_UNIT_NAME**);
In my case it was about mistake in two properties as below. When I changed them ‘No Persistence provider for EntityManager named’ disappered.
So you could try test connection with your properties to check if everything is correct.
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="...”/>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="...”/>
Strange error, I was totally confused because of it.
Try also copying the persistence.xml manually to the folder <project root>\bin\META-INF. This fixed the problem in Eclipse Neon with EclipseLink 2.5.2 using a simple plug-in project.
Had the same issue, but this actually worked for me :
mvn install -e -Dmaven.repo.local=$WORKSPACE/.repository.
NB : The maven command above will reinstall all your project dependencies from scratch. Your console will be loaded with verbose logs due to the network request maven is making.
You have to use the absolute path of the file otherwise this will not work. Then with that path we build the file and pass it to the configuration.
#Throws(HibernateException::class)
fun getSessionFactory() : SessionFactory {
return Configuration()
.configure(getFile())
.buildSessionFactory()
}
private fun getFile(canonicalName: String): File {
val absolutePathCurrentModule = System.getProperty("user.dir")
val pathFromProjectRoot = absolutePathCurrentModule.dropLastWhile { it != '/' }
val absolutePathFromProjectRoot = "${pathFromProjectRoot}module-name/src/main/resources/$canonicalName"
println("Absolute Path of secret-hibernate.cfg.xml: $absolutePathFromProjectRoot")
return File(absolutePathFromProjectRoot)

I have this structure in my Jboss 6.4, and I need to access outside of the war to another folder to take the configuration for Hibernate:
/usr/webapps/MYAPP/deployments/MYAPP.war
/usr/webapps/MYAPP/appconfig/hibernate.properties
I have to use this pattern, and I'm using Hibernate 4.2, in my case I need to take the content of the properties file to use it in my hibernate.cfg.xml like here:
<property name="connection.driver_class">${db.driver}</property>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">${db.dialect}</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">${db.url}</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">${db.username}</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">${db.password}</property>
hibernate.properties:
db.username=usernameTest
db.password=passwordTest
db.driver=driverTest
db.url=urlTest
db.dialect=dialectTest
What should be the best practice to do this, I was watching some cases with Spring here, but in my case it's only with JEE
Below is the c3p0 configuration m using.
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.timeout">500</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period">3000</property>
<property name="c3p0.min_size">20</property>
<property name="c3p0.max_size">100</property>
<property name="testConnectionOnCheckin">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.debugUnreturnedConnectionStackTraces">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.unreturnedConnectionTimeout">60</property>
I checked in my log and found
"c3p0 properties were encountered, but the org.hibernate.service.jdbc.connections.internal.C3P0ConnectionProvider provider class was not found on the classpath; these properties are going to be ignored."
I used 2 lib. c3p0-0.9.1.jar & hibernate-c3p0-4.1.4.final-sources.jar
Please Help...
org.hibernate.service.jdbc.connections.internal.C3P0ConnectionProvider provider class was not found on the classpath
Because you using hibernate-c3p0-4.1.4.final-sources.jar and this jar only contains Java source-code (.java) files not the compiled Java code (.class). So even If you are expecting "C3P0ConnectionProvider" class is in your classpath, but in reality it is not.
Solution
Use "hibernate-c3p0-4.1.10.Final.jar". This jar contains C3P0ConnectionProvider.class file.
Hopefully this will resolve your issue.
I want to export my jpa/swing project to a runnable jar. But I want the persistence.xml to be outside the jar not packaged inside, so I can change it without the need to export the jar again after each config.
According to JPA specifications, persistence.xml file cannot be detected outside the JAR file where the persistence unit is defined. By convention, it should be placed inside META-INF directory.
Read JSR-317, paragraph 8.2.1 for more details (http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/jcp/persistence-2.0-fr-eval-oth-JSpec/).
Nevertheless, you can try the hint proposed by this guy here and deploy your archives in exploded form.
I had the same problem, but I only needed to change Server, database, user and password. So this did it for me:
In JBoss AS, you can even have the property value as a placeholder, for example:
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:sqlserver://${DbServer}:1234;databaseName=${DbName}" />
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="${DbUser}" />
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="${DbPassword}" />
and then pass the "DbServer", "DbName", "DbUser" and "DbPassword" value as a Java system property:
-DDbServer=sql99 -DDbName=db_Name -DDbUser=USER -DDbPassword=pw
In Eclipse:
I am currently working on an OSGi project on Felix (v4.0.3). I need to use JPA so I have installed the Apache Aries JPA bundles. I also installed OpenJPA and I need it to connect to a MySQL Database, using the MySQL Connector Bundle. Unfortunately it does not work, OpenJPA says it cannot find the MySQL JDBC class and I cannot figure out what's broken, maybe I am doing something wrong. I'll explain below what I installed precisely along with the persistence.xml file and the actual exception I get.
Here's the list of the Apache Aries bundles I installed :
org.apache.aries.jpa.api-0.3.jar
org.apache.aries.jpa.container.context-0.3.jar
org.apache.aries.jpa.container-0.3.jar
org.apache.aries.util-0.4.jar
I then installed the dependencies of those Apache Aries JPA bundles. I downloaded them from Springsource :
com.springsource.javax.transaction-1.1.0.jar
com.springsource.org.apache.log4j-1.2.16.jar
com.springsource.slf4j.api-1.6.1.jar
com.springsource.slf4j.log4j-1.6.1.jar
javax.persistence_2.0.4.v201112161009.jar (this one is from EclipseLink in case it matters)
I also installed OpenJPA and all its dependencies. I found bundles 2 to 5 (commons-*) in the lib folder of the apache-openjpa-2.2.0 downloaded folder. I downloaded Serp here because the jar found in the lib folder wasn't an OSGi bundle. Finally I found the last two bundles (#7 and #8) in Springsource :
openjpa-2.2.0.jar
commons-collections-3.2.1.jar
commons-dbcp-1.4.jar
commons-lang-2.4.jar
commons-pool-1.5.4.jar
org.apache.servicemix.bundles.serp-1.13.1_4.jar
com.springsource.javax.servlet-2.5.0.jar
com.springsource.org.objectweb.asm-3.2.0.jar
Once I finally had OpenJPA installed, I still needed the MySQL JDBC Driver bundle, which I also got from the Springsource repository along with its commons-logging dependency :
com.springsource.com.mysql.jdbc-5.1.6.jar
com.springsource.org.apache.commons.logging-1.1.1.jar
Now at this point the list of bundles installed is getting quite large. I said I installed OpenJPA but it's only because I could not figure out how to use any other provider with Aries. I initially wanted to use EclipseLink but apparently Apache Aries does not detect it as a provider and according to this blog you have to make yet another bundle containing your own activator for Aries to notice EclipseLink. I tried it but it didn't work so I fell back on using OpenJPA instead.
So now I have two questions :
How can I make OpenJPA notice my MySQL Bundle ?
OR alternatively :
How can I make Apache Aries notice EclipseLink ?
Here's the persistence.xml file I use :
<persistence xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"
version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence">
<persistence-unit name="userManager.model" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<provider>org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceProviderImpl</provider>
<class>org.project.dao.entity.UserEntity</class>
<properties>
<property name="openjpa.ConnectionDriverName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
<property name="openjpa.ConnectionURL" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/usermanager?autoReconnect=true" />
<property name="openjpa.ConnectionUserName" value="root" />
<property name="openjpa.ConnectionPassword" value="root" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
The error occurs when the following Constructor of my DAO class is executed :
#PersistenceContext(unitName="userManager.model")
private EntityManager em;
private EntityManagerFactory emf;
public UserDAOBean() {
em = emf.createEntityManager();
}
Here's the error I get with OpenJPA not finding MySQL. Of course it is worth mentioning that both the URL and the username/password do work :
<openjpa-2.2.0-r422266:1244990 nonfatal general error> org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceException: There were errors initializing your configuration: <openjpa-2.2.0-r422266:1244990 fatal user error> org.apache.openjpa.util.UserException: A connection could not be obtained for driver class "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" and URL "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/usermanager?autoReconnect=true". You may have specified an invalid URL.

PS: I couldn't post the links to Aries, OpenJPA or EclipseLink because of the spam restriction, sorry :/
Thanks to Holly Cummins and after another bunch of hours of research, I've been able to find a solution to my problem. I'll detail it below, this is going to be a very long answer.
If you want to use EclipseLink with Apache Aries (which I find orders of magnitude simpler to install than OpenJPA for OSGi because it's contained in only 5 bundles), you will have to checkout the EclipseLink - Aries adapter directly from apache because it has not been released yet.
Go to an appropriate folder and execute the following command to get it :
svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/aries/trunk/jpa/jpa-container-eclipselink-adapter/
You should get a folder named jpa-container-eclipselink-adapter. Now, assuming that you are using Linux and have Maven installed, run the following commands :
cd jpa-container-eclipselink-adapter
mvn clean install
Once Maven has successfully compiled the source of the adapter, you will find it in your Maven repository using the path
<maven-repo>/org/apache/aries/jpa/org.apache.aries.jpa.eclipselink.adapter/0.3.1-SNAPSHOT/org.apache.aries.jpa.eclipselink.adapter-0.3.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
You'll have to deploy this bundle with the others (copying it in the bundle folder for Felix).
So that was for the EclipseLink part, now in order to make your persistence actually work you'll have to use Blueprint with Aries. Here is the list of all the bundles you'll need to get from the [http://aries.apache.org/downloads/currentrelease.html](Apache Aries download page)
org.apache.aries.blueprint
org.apache.aries.proxy
org.apache.aries.jndi.api
org.apache.aries.jndi
org.apache.aries.blueprint
org.apache.aries.jpa.api
org.apache.aries.jpa.container.context
org.apache.aries.jpa.container
org.apache.aries.transaction.blueprint
org.apache.aries.transaction.manager (This one is listed twice on their site, it's just a duplicate)
org.apache.aries.util
Once you're done downloading Aries, you still need dependencies (get them from SpringSource). These are the bundles for SLF4J, Log4J, SLF4J Log4J Binding and javax.transaction 1.1 API.
http://ebr.springsource.com/repository/app/bundle/version/detail?name=com.springsource.slf4j.api&version=1.6.1
http://ebr.springsource.com/repository/app/bundle/version/detail?name=com.springsource.slf4j.log4j&version=1.6.1
http://ebr.springsource.com/repository/app/bundle/version/detail?name=com.springsource.javax.transaction&version=1.1.0
http://ebr.springsource.com/repository/app/bundle/version/detail?name=com.springsource.org.apache.log4j&version=1.2.16
You'll also need the bundles from EclipseLink (you need the OSGi bundle version)
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/downloads/
Open the zip and get the following files :
org.eclipse.persistence.antlr
org.eclipse.persistence.asm
org.eclipse.persistence.core
org.eclipse.persistence.jpa
javax.persistence
Finally, assuming that you want to use a MySQL database, you'll need the bundles for the MySQL JDBC Driver (downloaded from Springsource)
http://ebr.springsource.com/repository/app/bundle/version/detail?name=com.springsource.com.mysql.jdbc&version=5.1.6
http://ebr.springsource.com/repository/app/bundle/version/detail?name=com.springsource.org.apache.commons.logging&version=1.1.1
Once you have all those bundles installed, you need to use a non-jta-datasource that you will get through JNDI. Here's a persistence.xml file that you can change for your needs :
<persistence xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"
version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence">
<persistence-unit name="userManager" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>
<non-jta-data-source>osgi:service/javax.sql.DataSource/(osgi.jndi.service.name=jdbc/userManagerDS)</non-jta-data-source>
<class>com.example.dao.entity.UserEntity</class>
<exclude-unlisted-classes>true</exclude-unlisted-classes>
<properties>
<!-- EclipseLink should create the database schema automatically -->
<!-- <property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="create-tables" />
<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation.output-mode" value="database" /> -->
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
See the javax.sql.Datasource in the non-jta-data-source tag ? That's what we'll define using Blueprint xml.
In order to do so, you'll first need to add the OSGI-INF/blueprint/ folders in your persistence bundle (the one containing your DAOs and Entities). This is the default folder where blueprint xml files are located, any xml file located here will be scanned. Once that's done, create the blueprint.xml file (the name can be changed) and paste (and modify) the following code :
<bean id="dataSource" class="com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlDataSource">
<property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/usermanager?autoReconnect=true" />
<property name="user" value="root" />
<property name="password" value="root" />
</bean>
<service id="MySQLDataSource" interface="javax.sql.DataSource" ref="dataSource">
<service-properties>
<entry key="osgi.jndi.service.name" value="jdbc/userManagerDS" />
</service-properties>
</service>
<service id="userDAOService" interface="com.example.dao.remote.UserDAORemote">
<bean class="com.example.dao.beans.UserDAOBean">
<jpa:unit index="0" unitname="userManager" />
</bean>
</service>
</blueprint>
Here, we are doing two things. First, we tell Aries to create the userManagerDS datasource and configure it with the JDBC Driver, URL, user and password. This is the same datasource that we used in the persistence.xml file.
Then, we inject the EntityManagerFactory in our DAO. Our DAO is the com.example.dao.beans.UserDAOBean class, we need to add its name to the bean tag. This class will have to implement an interface and we'll need to add this interface to the service tag. Now the final jpa:unit tag tells Aries to inject the EntityManagerFactory related to the persistence unit called userManager (the same name we used in the persistence.xml) by using the first constructor of UserDAOBean. This is done by using the index="0" attribute. This also means you have to have some code like the following in your DAO :
private EntityManager em;
private EntityManagerFactory emf;
public UserDAOBean(EntityManagerFactory emf) {
this.emf = emf;
this.em = emf.createEntityManager();
}
It's also possible to inject the EMF using a setter. Here are further resources to help you use Blueprint :

Optional : Be careful, if you are using Felix, adding the javax.transaction bundle will cause a "uses constraint violation" because the system bundle (bundle 0) also exports this API. You'll have to keep it from exporting it by changing the following line in the config.properties :
#org.osgi.framework.system.packages=
You'll have to put in here the list of all the packages that the previous bundle exported. Unfortunately, there's no way to "remove" a package, you have to redefine the entire list of packages to be exported. Here's mine, I hope it helps (yes it is very, very long) :

You may have better luck using a JNDI datasource rather than a direct jdbc connection. The Aries blog sample has a blog.datasource bundle which registers a datasource using Blueprint. The list of required bundles is longer than what you currently have, but you can just copy them all from the blog-assembly/target directory or pom.xml.
Alternatively, Aries have an org.apache.aries.jpa.eclipselink.adapter which does the same thing as the article you linked to. Aries use it for testing against EclipseLink, so it definitely should work. You could also look at the Aries tests to see how it's used and see if there's an EclipseLink test you can copy.
Things may be easier when using the gemini blueprint dbAccess plugin (http://www.eclipse.org/gemini/dbaccess/) , which I think will work for Aries as well. For MySQL be sure to include the connector plugin (e.g. http://ebr.springsource.com/repository/app/bundle/version/detail?name=com.springsource.com.mysql.jdbc&version=5.1.6). This should be sufficient to get the database up and running, provided the blueprint.xml (to use the example above) is configured properly, as above.
