ServiceMix 5.3.0 JPA issue

Question

I have a problem with starting a jpa bundle inside ServiceMix. The problem occurs when using EntityManager injection, while injection of an EntityManagerFactory works fine. Any idea what's wrong?

My persistence.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0"
             xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
    <persistence-unit name="MyUnit" transaction-type="JTA">
        <jta-data-source>osgi:service/javax.sql.DataSource/(osgi.jndi.service.name=jdbc/oracleds)</jta-data-source>

        <class>sandbox.MyEntity</class>

        <properties>
            <property name="openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings" value="buildSchema"/>
        </properties>

    </persistence-unit>

</persistence>

blueprint.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<blueprint
        xmlns="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0"
        xmlns:jpa="http://aries.apache.org/xmlns/jpa/v1.1.0"
        xmlns:tx="http://aries.apache.org/xmlns/transactions/v1.0.0"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0/blueprint.xsd"
>

    <bean id="MyDAO" class="sandbox.dao.impl.MyDAOImpl">
        <tx:transaction method="*" value="Required" />
        <jpa:context property="em" unitname="MyUnit" />
        <!--<jpa:unit property="emf" unitname="MyUnit" />-->
    </bean>

    <service ref="MyDAO" interface="sandbox.dao.MyDAO" />

</blueprint>

Deploying the bundle fails with the following exception:

Answer 1

Please check your classpath dependencies: javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaUpdate NoClassDefFoundError was added with JPA 2.1. But according to persistence.xml JPA 2.0 is used in your application.

Edit:

Aries with version >= 1.0.0 depend on JPA 2.1, see its pom.xml file here, and you should update the MANIFEST.MF imports accordingly.
