No Persistence provider for EntityManager named- when try to deploy from weblogic console

I'm struggling for a few days about this error.
When I try to deploy from ide(IntelliJ-eclipse), it works correct.
But when I try to deploy from WebLogic console, I got these errors;
Error Unable to access the selected application.
Error Unable to invoke Annotation processoror.
Error Unable to invoke Annotation processoror.
For more information, I checked logs and errors from stack trace.
It looks like the main error is: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named.
In debug, throwing from this code; Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("persistanceUnitName");
Persistence classes are coming from javaee-web-abi-7.0.jar.
Everything looks fine in persistence.xml.

We got a case like that: we have a test and prep environment. In test, it works, in prep doesn't work, in local doesn't work (from WebLogic console). Unfortunately, I can't see test server configs. But I expect the same options with prep. Anyway forget other environments, firstly I need to deploy successful from local.
Could you pls help me, I really don't know what I miss. Read every topic, tried everything

It looks like a classpath issue. Check your weblogic classpath.
If you are using eclipselink library must be loaded first when you are deploying.
Check this.
Add eclipselink into your project with scope provided:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>eclipselink</artifactId>
<version>2.5.0</version>
<scope>provided<scope>
</dependency>
add same dependency into your weblogic classpath:
$WEBLOGIC_HOME/user_projects/domains/base_domain/lib
Then, add below to your weblogic.xml to use eclipselink library.
<wls:container-descriptor>
<wls:prefer-application-packages>
<wls:package-name>org.eclipse.persistence.*</wls:package-name>
</wls:prefer-application-packages>
</wls:container-descriptor>

Why Eclipse dont generate complete persistence.xml?

I have Vaadin project with JPA 2.1 + EclipseLink + MySQL.
In eclipse in project settings I set connection to base and drivers correctly. Without problem I "generate Entities from Tables", but persistence.xml haven't info about driver, connection, login, pass to DB.
My auto generate 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">

If I run my application with simple query, I get of course exception:

Exception Description: Unable to acquire a connection from driver [null], user [null] and URL [null]. Verify that you have set the expected driver class and URL.

com.vaadin.server.VaadinServlet.service(VaadinServlet.java:239)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:728)
If JPA has defined the connection in the project, why does not generate this persistence automatically?

Based on what I understand you have set parameters for the Jpa plugin to eclipse and this is much different to set the parameters to persistence provider. Firstly you have to decide what persitent provide use and specify it in the persistence.xml together with the others paramenters.
This is an example of persistence.xml with eclipseLink:
<persistence>
<persistence-unit name="myUnit">
<provider>yourProvider</provider>
<class>it.myCompany.domain.MyFirstClass</class>
<class>it.myCompany.domain.MySecondClassClass</class>
<properties>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="${driverClass}" />
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="${connectionURL}" />
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="${username}" />
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="${password}" />
<property name="eclipselink.logging.level" value="info"/>
</properties>
<shared-cache-mode>NONE</shared-cache-mode>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>

EJB CMT´s are working fine.
The Create action is called from a commandButton:
<p:commandButton value="Create" process="#this type" update=":megaMenuForm:mainMenu" actionListener="#{menuBean.create()}" oncomplete="closeMenuDialog(xhr, status, args)"/>

See EJB specs if you want to manage transaction. Inject a resource UserTransaction.
Also #Transactional with not do anything here since you are using EJB.
In general you example should work, and #Transactional annotation will be just ignored. Could you try to make an interface, and call create method through it?
Looks like you are using EJB 2 style coding, but Glassfish 4 implements EJB 3.1, so it is better to go with a new one.

How to update entity in JPA

This is my first real exposure to JPA and I'm trying to run the simplest of update statements. I'm running inside a jBoss 7.1.x server using Hibernate as JPA implementation. Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Here is my producer method for EntityManager:
#ApplicationScoped
public class EntityManagerProducer
{
#PersistenceContext
private EntityManager entityManager;
#Produces
#RequestScoped
public EntityManager getEntityManager()
{
return entityManager;
}
}
Here is the DAO method that tries to perform the update:
#Inject EntityManager em;
public void updateRequestStatus(String requestNumber, String newStatus)
{
em.getTransaction().begin();
ServiceRequestEntity serviceRequestToUpdate = em.find(RequestEntity.class, requestNumber);
requestToUpdate.setStatus(newStatus);
em.merge(serviceRequestToUpdate);
em.getTransaction().commit();
}
Here is persistence.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence 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"
version="2.0">
<persistence-unit name="database" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<jta-data-source>java:/jdbc/myDS</jta-data-source>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect" />
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />
<property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="false" />
<property name="hibernate.use_sql_comments" value="true" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
Here is the error message (can provide full stacktrace if needed -it chokes on the "merge" line):
javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: JBAS011469: Transaction is required to perform this operation (either use a transaction or extended persistence context)
....

#Inject annotation on EntityManager I don't think will work. With your current setup I believe you want to inject your EntityManagerProducer class (which is not used in your DAO), and then call your getEntityManager method on it.
The other option would just be to use the #PersistenceContext in your DAO.
You also may want to specify the name of your persistence context as specified in your persistence.xml like:
#PersistenceContext(name="database")

JPA Exception: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named MyJPAApplicationPU

I am newbie with JPA. I'm trying to run some sample code using JPA but I get the following exception:
javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named MyJPAApplicationPU
I put my exception message here,
INFO: Could not find any META-INF/persistence.xml file in the classpath
javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named MyJPAApplicationPU

at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:33)

Any help would be appreciated.

Well, the error is self explaining, you need to provide a META-INF/persistence.xml to use JPA. This file is used to define a "persistence unit". From the JPA 1.0 specification:
6.2.1 persistence.xml file
A persistence.xml file defines a
persistence unit. It may be used to
specify managed persistence classes
included in the persistence unit,
object/relational mapping information
for those classes, and other
configuration information for the
persistence unit and for the entity
manager(s) and entity manager factory
for the persistence unit. The
persistence.xml file is located in
the META-INF directory of the root
of the persistence unit. This
information may be defined by
containment or by reference, as
described below.
Here is a sample persistence.xml for a Java SE environment (using Hibernate as JPA provider):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence 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_1_0.xsd"
version="1.0">
<persistence-unit name="MyJPAApplicationPU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<class>com.mycompany.Foo</class>
<class>com.mycompany.Bar</class>
<exclude-unlisted-classes>true</exclude-unlisted-classes>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.connection.provider_class" value="org.hibernate.connection.DriverManagerConnectionProvider" />
<property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:hsqldb:mem:unit-testing-jpa"/>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"/>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect"/>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="sa"/>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password" value=""/>
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
Some comments about the above file:
when running in a Java SE environment, you cannot rely on JTA and the transaction type must be RESOURCE_LOCAL (which is actually the default in a Java SE environment but specifying it make it more clear).
when running in a Java SE environment, you cannot use a JDNI data source and the provider will obtain connections directly from the JDBC driver so you must pass the relevant informations to the provider (driver class name, connection url, user, password). With JPA 1.0 the properties used to pass these metadata are provider specific.
To insure the portability of a Java SE application, it is necessary to explicitly list the managed persistence classes that are included in the persistence unit.

For JPA to work, you need META-INF/persistence.xml. I will assume this is a web-app, so this folder has to be in WEB-INF/classes/.
The persistence.xml file would look like this:
<persistence 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_1_0.xsd"
version="1.0">
<persistence-unit name="MyJPAApplicationPU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>

EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("<JDBC connection>");
Check the correct JDBC Connection.
