Class org.datanucleus.api.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactoryClass was not found

Question

I am using Google App Engine (appengine-java-sdk-1.6.6) for an application using JDO and maven (maven-gae-plugin) for the project structure and build. The build is successful along with enhancing my domain classes with DataNucleus Enhancer.

When running the application, I am facing this issue:Class org.datanucleus.api.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactoryClass was not found. Could anyone please advise. Thanks

PS: I have done a grep (on linux) to find the PersistenceManagerFactoryClass in the APP Engine SDK folder, I could not find it.

Could not instantiate bean class [com.peerbuccoss.apps.mtp.dao.impl.CommonDaoImpl]:  Constructor threw exception; nested exception is javax.jdo.JDOFatalUserException: Class     org.datanucleus.api.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactoryClass was not found.

In my case I was using datanucleus-appengine-2.1.2 instead of datanucleus-appengine-1.0.10. With version 2.1.2 you must update your jdconfig.xml with the following PersistenceManagerFactoryClass:

<property name="javax.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactoryClass"
       value="org.datanucleus.api.jdo.JDOPersistenceManagerFactory"/>

My jdconfig.xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<jdoconfig xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jdo/jdoconfig"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jdo/jdoconfig">

   <persistence-manager-factory name="transactions-optional">
       <property name="javax.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactoryClass"
           value="org.datanucleus.api.jdo.JDOPersistenceManagerFactory"/>
       <property name="javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL" value="appengine"/>
       <property name="javax.jdo.option.NontransactionalRead" value="true"/>
       <property name="javax.jdo.option.NontransactionalWrite" value="true"/>
       <property name="javax.jdo.option.RetainValues" value="true"/>
       <property name="datanucleus.appengine.autoCreateDatastoreTxns" value="true"/>
       <property name="datanucleus.appengine.singletonPMFForName" value="true"/>
   </persistence-manager-factory>
</jdoconfig>
