Does Glassfish 3.1 support OSGi Persistence Bundles according to the
OSGi Enterprise JPA Service Spec?
After deploying a JAR with a persistence unit and the required OSGi
headers to Glassfish as OSGi bundle, I was expecting to see an
EntityManagerFactory for this persistence unit in the service registry,
but I didn't.
After reading
http://wikis.sun.com/download/attachments/209655166/GF-OSGi-Features-1.0.pdf
and looking at the code samples, it seems only EJB JARs and WARs can be
hybrid bundles, but persistence units/bundles are not...?
In one of the EJB code samples, the classes from a persistence unit were
copied into the bundle, which is not really what you want.
When a persistence bundle gets deployed, the container should register
the EMF in the OSGi service registry, and hybrid EJB bundles should be
able to inject a @PersistenceContext via the OSGi service registry.
Is this possible at all, or on the roadmap at least?
BTW: Sahoo, thanks a lot for writing this OSGi Features document - the
official GlassFish docs don't give much space to OSGi, so your overview
is extremely helpful.
