Is it possible to use Hibernate 5 as JPA engine in WAS Liberty Profile

Question

I use 4.3.11 in my Liberty projects but there is a bug with Hibernate solved in version 5. I have tried upgrading but I get different exceptions.

Anybody is using Hibern

Answer 1

I know the thread is a bit old, but comparing Liberty Profile 17.0.0.2 and 17.0.0.3 I have noticed they have introduced this class

com.ibm.ws.jpa.hibernate.LibertyJtaPlatform

and now when I start the app server, the container passes some properties when calls

HibernatePersistenceProvider.createContainerEntityManagerFactory(PersistenceUnitInfo info, Map properties)

to initialize hibernate for a data-source and in the properties you have the instance of that class:

Hope it helps.
