Donald Woods resolved OPENJPA-1454.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

no response since including the bval spec in openjpa-all, so closing.  please open a new JIRA if more work is needed.

> The InstrumentationFactory tries to find the jar containing the manifest with the pre-main and attaches this jar to the VM.
> This has the side effect that all classes which get loaded via the Instrumentation are added to the 'classes' Vector of the SystemClassLoader. And this causes a problem when running OpenJPA in a WebApplication - because the SystemClassLoader only contains a few of those class definitions, and e.g. executing     
> public void setBrokerFactory(BrokerFactory factory) {
>         _factory = new DelegatingBrokerFactory(factory,
>             PersistenceExceptions.TRANSLATOR);
>     }
> crashes the WebApp because org.apache.openjpa.util.Exceptions is available in the SystemClassLoader but the dependent J2DoPrivHelper is not.
> This is even more problematic when using openjpa-lib, openjpa-kernel, etc as single jars (instead of openjpa-all), because in this case only openjpa-kernel gets injected into the VMs  system classpath - causing the agent to subsequently crash because all the classes from openjpa-lib obviously cannot be found. 
> This might also be an explanation to a few other open JIRAs I've read through the last few days.
