JPA application noclassdeffound error

[ishakteyran]

hello to all,

i am developing my first JPA application on RAD 7.5.5 windows vista business, and using websphere application server 7.0 .

using RAD , i created a JPA application and i created my entities and entity managers as well successfully, then for trying to actually manipulate my data, i created a Deneme.java which has the code

package source;

import entities.controller.*;
import entities.*;

import javax.persistence.*;

public class Deneme {
	

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		EntityManager em = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("Dene").createEntityManager();
		System.out.print("success");

	}

}

and i made the application run as java application but it gave the following error :

using the first line of the exception i made asearch on google and i found the suggestion on [this forum post | ]JavaWorld Forums: Digester hanging on new Digester() ?! and copied commons collectins, beanutils, digester, logging and openjpa latest zip file to the build path of my application.

and i made the aplication run. but still i get the very same error :(

if it will make any help here is also the persistence.xml contents

<?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">

		<class>entities.Parent</class>
		<properties>
			<property name="openjpa.jdbc.Schema" value="Schema"/>
		</properties>
	</persistence-unit>
</persistence>

can anyone please suggest me how to come over of this problem ?

thank you

Can you create new class and make instance of
org.apache.commons.collections.set.MapBackedSet ?

I guess you took
commons-collections-3.2.1
and place it on your build path with no problems

If that it OK than it looks like there is some bootstrap problem with openjpa.

Maybe you could try to find some help about resources for your projects here:

IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal: Leveraging OpenJPA with WebSphere Application Server V6.1

hello to all,

sorry for my late reply, but i was working on this kind of errors all the past days even nights, and i asked the same question on IBM developerworks forum too, and now the only problem remains to be jpa enhancer, for those who want to catch up with what happened with this error and thereafter, here is the link for the thread in developerworks forum.

if you have any suggestion about jpa enhancer mentioned there, you can either reply here or there, i will also share the result on both forums.
