Is JPA 2.1 supported with JBoss EAP 5.x or 6.x ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 5.x
    • 6.x
  • Java Persisteance API (JPA)
    • 2.1
  • Hibernate
    • 4.3

Issue

  • Is JPA 2.1 supported with EAP 5.x or EAP 6.x ?
  • Is java application with JPA 2.1 supported this version ? Running JPA 2.1 on EAP 6.x isn't feasible?
  • WAR application having JPA 2.1 and Hibernate 4.3 fails while deployment in EAP 6.2 and gives following error.
  • Currently it's JPA version is 2.0 with Spring 3.1. Our requirement is to upgrade the JPA version to 2.1 .
  • A newer version of hibernate-jpa was added to the application, but when deploying the application, it always loads the one from jboss module directory instead of the one in WEB-INF/lib of war file.

  • We would like to use JPA 2.1 with Stored Procedures in our application. We are aware that JPA 2.1 is part of J2EE7, while EAP 6.x supports J2EE6. When are you going to add support for J2EE7/JPA2.1 to EAP platform? Is there any roadmap for EAP?
  • We added the dependency of jpa 2.0 like below but still we are getting errors.
<dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.0-api</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.1.Final-redhat-3</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

JPA 2.1 is not supported with EAP 5.x or EAP 6.x.

A possible workaround can be found in WFCORE-209

Note: When using JPA 2.0 then also make sure using JPA 2.0 XSD instead of JPA 2.1.

Root Cause

JPA 2.1 is part of JEE 7 spec while JPA 2.0 is part of JEE 6 spec where EAP 6 is based on.
