Answer 1

I had a similar problem deploying my application with jpa 2.1 in Websphere 7.

If is the same problem, you have to tell Websphere to use Hibernate persistance provider instead of Default Persistance provide.

I wrote a guide with the solution that worked for me in this answer:

EDIT: (Explain step 1 and 2 of the guide)

Step 1: To create a folder you have to access to server machine (through ssh) and create it in the file system (e.g. /usr/sharedHibernate assuming your server runs on linux). Then copy hibernate libraries in the folder you created (from your local machine to the server, with Filezilla or WinScp or Putty).

Step 2: In Websphere console on the left you have Environment section that contains Shared Libraries subsection:

Here create a new shared library, give it the name you want and in classpath textarea insert the path of the folder you created before (e.g. /usr/sharedHibernate)
