Spring Data JPA - Multiple Persistence Units working as JUnit, but not in Tomcat

Question

I am nearly ready to fall back to my comfortable JDBC Template use for this one, but thought I'd see if the community has any insight. I added a 2nd set of JPA framework objects to my Spring-based application: new Entity Manager, Persistence Unit, etc. The exising Entity Manager uses ObjectDB for persistence and I want to use the slick Spring Data JPA API for a CRUD repository (Hibernate as an impl) but it's giving me trouble all along the way. I thought I had resolved everything locally b/c I had a JUnit that got past bean creation, but once I dropped those beans into an applicationContext I had a regression that I do not know how to fix

JUnit and Application context XML snippet with company name removed from the com.xxx

Again, this all works fine and dandy in a JUnit

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations={"/com/junit-context.xml"})
// Functioning JUnit

But fails in Tomcat with

    private SharedModeKey sharedModeKey = new SharedModeKey();
    @Column

}

It's hard to know what is done differently in the start-up to make things fail, I've been stepping through a lot of framework code trying to determine exactly what goes wrong.

The last exception you get means JPA provider can not identify your bean. As you are using Spring, you can set packagesToScan property on the entityManagerFactory to the package which contains your entities to enable JPA provider to find them. Alternatively you can use persistence.xml and list all entities there.

Ean, please see persistence-hibernate.xml, I do list out the bean being complained about in the stacktrace

Ean V Over a year ago

Try putting them in persistence.xml as there was an old bug in Spring related to these JPA config files. (I don't remember what was that at the moment)

It ended up being an error in my setup, where the entities where in on JAR and the persistence.xml was in another JAR.
