I'm migrating an EE application from AS6 to AS7.0.2.Final.
My app is bundled as an EAR. The persistence xml references entities with the jar-file xml element but it seems the jar files are not scanned at all!
The persistence.xml file is inside an ejb-jar module and the jar files are in the ear lib directory.
I also tried to setup Hibernate 3 thinking that the version 4 bundled with the server could be the problem but I have the same result.
(was working with JBoss AS 6.0.0.Final)
