Hi Tom,

What is the use of oracle.toplink.essentials.PersistenceProvider.class
which is just an empty class as shown below:

/package oracle.toplink.essentials;

import oracle.toplink.essentials.ejb.cmp3.EntityManagerFactoryProvider;

/**
 * This is the TopLink EJB 3.0 provider
 */
public class PersistenceProvider extends EntityManagerFactoryProvider {

}

/We in GlassFish use
oracle.toplink.essentials.ejb.cmp3.EntityManagerFactoryProvider as the
persistence provider. Is there a potential mismatch here?

Thanks,
Sahoo
