I get an "Invalid persistence.xml" with createEntityManagerFactory but not #PersistenceContext

I have a project where we use Hibernate-jpa-2.1 and get an EntityManager istance both in this way
#PersistenceContext(unitName = "common-api")
EntityManager em;
and this
em = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("common-api").createEntityManager();
because some classes aren't EJB and others are (I guess). The problem is that the createEntityManagerFactory fails with the error:
Caused by: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: Invalid persistence.xml.
Error parsing XML [line : -1, column : -1] : cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'class'. One of '{"http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence":validation-mode, "http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence":properties}' is expected.

This is the persistence.xml:

</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
I don't understand why this happens because my classes are in the same package, same maven module, use the same Hibernate entities and the same persistence.xml.
N.B.: Making this class an EJB isn't an option.

This is an error you should only get if the element order is wrong (and not the same as you posted here). The order of elements in persistence.xml is important during validation. It's described in the xsd. In each persistence-unit it is as follows:
description
provider
jta-data-source
non-jta-data-source
mapping-file
jar-file
class
exclude-unlisted-classes
shared-cache-mode

Unable to create OpenJPAEntityManagerFactory

I have created the OSGI bundle project with JPA 2.0 support. I am using OpenJpa as a JPA provider. when I run the bundle, I Could not create OpenJPAEntityManagerFactory. Please fine the code which I used to create OpenJPAEntityManagerFactory.
OpenJPAEntityManagerFactory emf = OpenJPAPersistence.createEntityManagerFactory(

</persistence>
In src folder I have META-INF and i created the persistence.xml with in that(META-INF/persistennce.xml).
Please let me know to resolve this issue.

It'd probably be helpful if you listed what the error is you are getting, but it might be because you have this line twice:
<property name="openjpa.Log" value="DefaultLevel=WARN, Tool=INFO" />
This is just a stab in the dark since you don't mention what the error is and I just happen to be getting an error message of "Equivalent property keys "openjpa.Log" and "Log" are specified in configuration." for something I'm working on.

Hibernate and Glassfish config

I'm working on project(REST) where I use hibernate with glassfish. I try to get list of data from DB, but I get this error:
javax.persistence.PersistenceException: Exception [EclipseLink-4021] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.0.1.v20100213-r6600): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException

Check your login, persistence.xml or sessions.xml resource. The jdbc.driver property should be set to a class that is compatible with your database platform

UPDATE:
Connection to hibernate works, because I tested it in console.
Is it possible that Hibernate requires another config file for hibernate?
Thanks for help :)

EclipseLink into OSGI Bundle persistence.xml not found

I'm having some problem with EclipseLink. I'm using GlassFish v3.1 and I'm trying to use EclipseLink for my persistence layer. I followed all tutorials available on the Eclipse wiki without luck. My persistence.xml file cannot be parsed and I receive this error while trying to create the EntityManagerFactory:
org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.PersistenceUnitLoadingException
Exception Description: An exception was thrown while processing persistence.xml from URL: bundle://307.1:1/
Here is my persistence.xml located in /WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/:

</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
I added this line to my MANIFEST.MF:
JPA-PersistenceUnits: generic

I can now confirm that it's a bug in EclipseLink. The work around to your problem is to either get hold of EntityManagerFactory using JNDI lookup or #PersistenceUnit instead of doing Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory().

1) It looks like you are trying to use OSGi/JPA from your WAB. Correct?
2) Can you tell if you have installed any new eclipselink bundles in your system? If so, what are they?
3) Can you provide stack trace?

Persistence deployment issue

I have a hibernate project, which uses JPA.
my persistence.xml contents is as follows:
<persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">

<properties>

<property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="root" />
<property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="root" />
<!-- Hibernate dialect -->
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect" />
<!-- Output goodies

<property name="hibernate.query.jpaql_strict_compliance" value="true" />

<property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class" value="org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
Now when I run it using eclipse I don't have a problem, but when I deploy it in Jboss, I get the below error:
ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error

java.lang.ClassCastException:

And here is the list of Jar that I have

How can I resolve this issue?

The ClassCastException is caused by having two copies of the javax.persistence APIs in your system (one in the common classloader provided by JBoss and the one in your app). When running on JBoss, you are just not supposed to provide this API in your application, don't package it.
By the way, it seems you're using a JPA 2.0 persistence.xml but I'm not convinced you're using the JPA 2.0 implemenation of Hibernate (actually, you seem to be using a pretty old version since I can see commons-logging.jar). You should probably fix that i.e. use the 1.0 version of persistence.xml.
Actually, you should very likely use a different persistence.xml when running on JBoss (using a JTA entity manager and a jta-data-source). And it seems weird to mix data source usage and Hibernate built-in connection pool.
