Description Stephane Nicoll 2016-07-25 15:41:08 UTC
I just noticed that `tomcat-embed-core` brings an outdated JPA API. Spring Framework 5 requires JPA 2.1 now and unless I order the classpath in a  certain way, my app breaks when deployed in embedded tomcat because of this.

Would it be possible to upgrade the JPA API that Tomcat brings?

Hmm. We have a sub-set of the JPA annotations so we can do resource injection. It would be better if we could remove that dependency entirely. I wonder if that is possible.

I took a look at removing the dependency entirely but that was going to need a fair amount of reflection. Therefore, I updated the API for 8.0.x onwards (since this is a Java EE 7 change). The fix will be in:
8.0.37
8.5.5
9.0.0.M10
