openjpa-x.x.x/lib/persistence-api-1.0.jar

["Lance J. Andersen" <La...@Sun.COM>]

I am not sure if this is a typo in the quick start instructions, but 
there is a reference to openjpa-x.x.x/lib/persistence-api-1.0.jar which 
is not in the download of openjpa-1.0.0

What jars must i include for a standalone SE program as there are quite 
a few in the lib directory or can i just get away with openjpa.jar?

Regards
Lance



      Getting Started with OpenJPA in Netbeans

   1. Download the OpenJPA binary release from the downloads
      <http://openjpa.apache.org/downloads.html> page and unpack it by
      double-clicking it.
   2. Launch Netbeans (this sample was tested with Netbeans 5.5, but any
      recent version should work).
   3. Select the *File* menu and select *New Project*.
   4. On the *New Project* page, select Category:*General*
      Projects:*Java Project with Existing Ant Script*, then click the
      *Next* button.
   5. Press the *Browse* button next to the *Location* field, and
      navigate to the unpacked OpenJPA directory
   6. Press the *Browse* button next to the *Build Script* field, and
      navigate to the unpacked OpenJPA directory through *examples*,
      then *hellojpa*, and select the *build.xml* file and press the
      *Open* button.
   7. Type a name for the project, press *Set as Main Project* and press
      the *Next* button on the wizard.
   8. Press *Next* to accept the *Build and Run Actions*.
   9. On the *Source Package Folders* page, press *Add Folder*, select
      the *examples* folder, and press *Next*.
  10. On the *Java Sources Classpath* page, press *Add JAR/Folder* and
      select the openjpa-x.x.x/lib/persistence-api-1.0.jar which
      contains the JPA API classes which is used to compile against.
  11. Press *Finish*
  12. A new project will open, containing the OpenJPA jar and the
      examples source files.
  13. On the *Package Explorer*, expand the top-level folder, then the
      *examples* folder, then *hellojpa*.
  14. Navigate to the *build.xml* file in the *hellojpa* folder (note
      that there is also a *build.xml* file in the parent folder, which
      should not be used). Right-click the *build.xml* file, and select
      the *Run Target* sub-menu, then select *run*.
  15. The database will be initialized (using the stand-alone Derby
      database, which is included with the OpenJPA distribution) and the
      *Main.java* class will be run. In the *Console*, you should see
      the text /Hello Persistence!/.
  16. Congratulations! You have run your first sample program using
      OpenJPA. Examine the *Main.java* example program, as well as the
      *Message.java* entity class, play with them by adding fields and
      working on new persistence operations. Have fun!

Lance-

The instructions are in error. I'll update them shortly.

Instead of the "persistence-api-1.0.jar" jar, you should use the  
"geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-1.0.jar". Let us know if you have any problems  
with that.
