Hi,

I am currently trying to use human tasks (jBPM 5.3)  in an application based on OSGI (Equinox). 

As far as I know Hibernate doesn’t really support OSGI. So I decided to use Eclipse Gemini JPA for persistence. Though I can`t make it work. Seemingly the OSGI JPA specification requires all entities and metadata to be contained in a single persistence bundle.

I get the following Exception:

javax.persistence.PersistenceException: Exception [EclipseLink-28018] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.4.0.v20120608-r11652): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.EntityManagerSetupException
Exception Description: Predeployment of PersistenceUnit [jbpm.unit] failed.
Internal Exception: Exception [EclipseLink-7215] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.4.0.v20120608-r11652): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.ValidationException
Exception Description: Could not load the field named [processInstanceId] on the class [class org.jbpm.persistence.processinstance.ProcessInstanceInfo]. Ensure there is a corresponding field with that name defined on the class.

Could you give me some hints which setup might work to use human tasks in an OSGI environment? Does someone have a working project in an OSGI environment which uses Eclipse Gemini JPA, Hibernate or some other JPA Provider?

Thanks,

Grischan
