Using Custom JPA / Hibernate Provider in Wildfly 8.1 Warfile

JPA / Hibernate provider is included in my application, but I am having problems deploying it in wildfly 8.1. Namely, I am using an OSS project called OpenXava that ships with its own version of Hibernate. I previously had success with JBoss 5.1, but WildFly 8.1 gives me an error when deploying.

I asked the lead developer of OpenXava and he says this is most likely a problem with configuring WildFly to use the JPA provider bundled with a war file. I looked through the documentation for WF and found the jboss.as.jpa.providerModule parameter. I tried to install this app as well as hibernate3-bundled and none of them work. I've also tried excluding modules via jboss-deployment-structure.xml. This generated several different errors, but didn't seem to be successful.

Does anyone know what's going on?

My jboss-deployment-structure.xml looks like this:

  <deployment> 

     <exclusions> 

       <module name="org.dom4j" /> 

   <module name="org.hibernate"/>

   <module name="javax.persistence.api"/>



     </exclusions> 

  </deployment> 

      

        
        
        
      

    

My persistence.xml looks like this:

         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">



<!-- Tomcat + Hypersonic -->

<persistence-unit name="default">

    <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>



    <class>org.openxava.session.GalleryImage</class>

    <properties>

        <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect"/>

    <property name="jboss.as.jpa.providerModule" value="application" />

    </properties>

</persistence-unit>   





<!-- JUnit Hypersonic -->

<persistence-unit name="junit">

    <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>

    <properties>

        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"/>

        <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect"/>

        <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost:1666"/>

    </properties>

      

        
        
        
      

    

When I deploy the application, it returns the following error (I am using the MySchool.war sample application provided in OpenXava):
