There is no available StoreManager of type "appengine".

Question

There is no available StoreManager of type "appengine". Make sure that you have put the relevant DataNucleus store plugin in your CLASSPATH and if defining a connection via JNDI or DataSource you also need to provide persistence property "datanucleus.storeManagerType"

I'm receiving the error above when I attempt to persist a object. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My POM and jdoconfig are below:

Answer 1

So you want to persist to GAE/Datastore yet don't put "datanucleus-appengine" jar in the CLASSPATH. The message is clear
