Hi Alan,
if you are using the OSGi Version of Eclipselink, there are some
configurations to make, but it is hard to figure out what is missing
without knowing more details of how the bundle structure of your
application looks like. Anyway here some thoughts that might help.
To make things easier, it helps to put all entities, the persistence.xml
and all other persistence related stuff in one bundle. This is not
always neccessary, but for a first try it eases things up.
The first you need to do is to pass the right classloader to the
EntityManagerFactory and the EntityManager. If everything resides in the
same bundle, you can use the classloader of the Activator of that
bundle. This is neccessary because the emf and the em need to see the
persistence.xml and the entity classes. Here is an example:
HashMap<String, Object> props = new HashMap<String, Object>();
props.put(PersistenceUnitProperties.CLASSLOADER, Activator.class
.getClassLoader());
entityManagerFactory = Persistence
.createEntityManagerFactory("your_pu", props);
For the EntityManager:
Map<String, Object> props = new HashMap<String, Object>();
props.put(PersistenceUnitProperties.CLASSLOADER, Activator.class
.getClassLoader());
EntityManager em = entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager(props);
I think you can use any other class from your application bundle where
the persistence.xml is, too (instead of the Activator).
The next thing is that you need to specify the PersistenceUnit in the
MANIFEST.MF file using this line:
JPA-PersistenceUnits: your_pu
Hope this helps you, if not, please post some more information about
your setup, I'm sure we can get it working.

There is something I forgot, you need to load the pesistence bundles in
the right order, because the org.eclipse.persistence.jpa bundle
registers the PersistenceProvider as a service. So you need to be sure
that the service is there before your application bundle starts.
Second thing is that I had to start the org.eclipse.persistence.antlr
bundle, too. I'm not sure whether that dpands on my setup, but I think
it's worth a try.
Try the following.
Set a default start level of 5.
We need the javax.persistence bundle to start at first, so set a
startlevel of 3.
Next org.eclipse.persistence.jpa should be started -> start level 4
Leave all the rest at startlevel 5.
Have a look for the following output on the osgi console:
2009-10-09 10:25:11,328 INFO [STDOUT] Persistence bundle starting...
2009-10-09 10:25:11,329 INFO [STDOUT] Persistence bundle started.
2009-10-09 10:25:25,565 INFO [STDOUT] ProviderTracker: New service
detected...
2009-10-09 10:25:25,565 INFO [STDOUT] ProviderTracker: Added service
org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.osgi.PersistenceProviderOSGi
If you don't see the output, make sure you set the -console -consolelog
arguments in the launch configurations. If you still don't see it,
you've at least identified the problem, the PersistenceProvider service
is not registered.
Greets,
Tom

Shaun Smith wrote on Wed, 21 October 2009 08:22 | So in an RCP application (as in the wiki example) you obtain an EntityManagerFactory by calling new
PersistenceProvider().createEntityManagerFactory(properties)
PersistenceProvider is org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider. Essentially this approach goes directly to EclipseLink and avoids the provider lookup mechanism of JPA (which is service based in EclipseLink OSGi).

out of curiosity I did try this with my RCP plugin and this does not work for me. I put your code into the Activator.start method .. does this sound ok? if not where should this be done? I need some magic for my application .. thanks.
when I execute this line: new PersistenceProvider().createEntityManagerFactory("test", properties) .. I get null instead of a factory. I checked and the classloader can see persistence.xml and entities. also the RCP example is headless and mine is an RCP application with a view.
