"Unknown abstract schema type" while accessing PU

In NB 5.5.1, I created a Persistence Unit for a pre-configured
jdbc/sample database. Then I created an Entity Class from this PU to
generate a dynamic page. The page content looks like:

-- cut here --
     EntityManagerFactory emf =
Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("jmaki-jpa4PU");
     EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();

     List<Customer> list = em.createQuery("select c from Customer
c").getResultList();
-- cut here --

The persistence.xml looks like:

-- cut here --
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="1.0"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/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_1_0.xsd">
   <persistence-unit name="jmaki-jpa4PU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
     <non-jta-data-source>jdbc/sample</non-jta-data-source>
     <properties/>
   </persistence-unit>
</persistence>
-- cut here --

And here is the error that I'm getting while accessing this page:

-- cut here --
Exception [TOPLINK-8034] (Oracle TopLink Essentials - 2.0 (Build b58-rc1
(08/04/2007))): oracle.toplink.essentials.exceptions.EJBQLException
Exception Description: Error compiling the query [select c from Customer
c]. Unknown abstract schema type [Customer].
-- cut here --

Most of the stuff is generated for me (database, persistence.xml, PU,
entity class) and I'm still seeing this error. I verified the table
contains appropriate data.

What can cause this ?

Thanks,
-Arun
