javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named ... in JBoss EAP 6
Issue
- We have a security login module where we are trying to use JPA / Hibernate EntityManager to read from a database. We have our login module inside of a custom module which depends on jpa and hibernate modules as shown below. But we are getting the error 'javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named' when trying to get the EntityManagerFactory via:
EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("SecurityPersistenceUnit");
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="com.examples.security.exampleLoginModule">
<resources>
<resource-root path="example-security-login-module.jar"></resource>
</resources>
<dependencies>
<module name="javax.api" export="false"></module>
<module name="javax.persistence.api" ></module>
<module name="org.hibernate" ></module>
<module name="org.picketbox"></module>
<module name="org.jboss.logging" ></module>
</dependencies>
</module>
