Hello Garth,
I'll do my best to monitor this thread if you would like to post your questions here. If the forum medium is too tedious to work in you can email me directly 'gordon.yorke' at Oracle and I'll help you out or find someone who can.
You can also get a lot of help through the glassfish 'persistence' mailing list.
