I'm working on a project made with : Web Dynamic Project + JPA 2.1 / EclipseLink 2.5.2 Tomcat 8.0.28 / JRE 1.8.0_66 Eclipse Luna
JPA part of the project was running fine when executed in a simple JPA project as a Java Application. I made no changes on that part of the code.
I wanted to print some request results in a JSP. I generated a servlet and tried to print the name of a user already created in the database. For hours I had errors about JDBC driver and persistence.xml not found.
In order to solve dependancies problems I added Maven.
Now, my user is printed in the JSP and that's fine, but my "Run.java" class I used previously doesn't work anymore.
I'm quiet lost with the error I get when running my app as a "Java Application" :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

... 7 more
Clearly the error occurs when I'm creating the EntityManagerFactory in the DAO class (the same one that is working with the JSP).

If needed, here is my persistence.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd">

<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="drop-and-create-tables"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
Entities mapping is managed with an orm.xml
Here's also the beginning of the DAO class :
package dao;
import java.util.List;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.Persistence;
import javax.persistence.Query;
import entities.Address;
import entities.GroupAssoc;
import entities.RightsGranted;
import entities.User;
public class LayerDAO implements IFLayerDAOLocal {
EntityManager em = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("CitizenWeb").createEntityManager();
public void createUser(User user) {
System.out.println("DAO > addUser > "+em.hashCode());
em.getTransaction().begin();
em.persist(user);
em.getTransaction().commit();
}
Nothing has been changed here, neither in the persistence.xml
The "only" changes are in the build.path because of the change in the nature of project (JPA -> Web Dynamic+JPA). Maven has solved the problem with the webserver and the mysql connector, but now the app side is broken.
Do you see something I don't ?
Thanx.
