Description

1. This Geronimo build includes spring-beans.jar, spring-context.jar and spring-core.jar of version 2.0.
So as far as we know, version 2.0 does not fully support integration with JPA implementations.

2. We developed an enterprise application (ear) which utilizes Spring 2.0.2 and OpenJPA.
OpenJPA comes with Geronimo.

Deployment and start of this application fails, because of different versions of Spring (our application expects spring-beans.jar, spring-context.jar and spring-core.jar to be at least of version 2.0.2 but Geronimo contains libs of version 2.0 (the lack of some methods in version 2.0 is the problem here).

3. If we try to use inverse-classloading or hidden classes (org.springframework) in geronimo-web.xml and include all necesary libs in WEB-INF/lib following Exception is thrown during deployment and start of the application (see below).

4. We found temporary workaround: to replace spring-beans.jar, spring-context.jar and spring-core.jar of version 2.0 with jars of version 2.0.2 in Geronimo repository without using of inverse-classloading and hidden classes and everything looks fine.

5. So as far as I understand this out-of-the-box Geronimo build could not be used as Server for Spring-OpenJPA appications. At least Spring libs upgrade could solve this problem.
6. Another problem is following Exception when using hidden classes or inverse-classloading to load application jars first.
