I am deploying to tomcat 6.0

Update

After the answer below, I solved this by adding the following dependency to my ivy.xml:

<dependency org="org.hibernate.javax.persistence" name="hibernate-jpa-2.0-api" rev="1.0.0.Final"/>

then putting this jar above everything else under Eclipse's build order tab.

I was using JRE/JDK 6.

You have a wrong version of the Java Persistence API:

See OneToMany.orphanRemoval() Documentation

Since: Java Persinstence 2.0

It is not included with JEE5.

Edit: http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/Tomcat_Web_Tutorial

Limitations to JPA

  • As Tomcat is not a JEE5 compatible server, there are some limitiations to JPA.

    • No dynamic weaving (instrumentation) - static weaving of entities is still available via EclipseLink
    • No @EJB injection of a session bean (containing the EntityManager) is available - use the persistence factory and manager directly
    • No @PersistenceContext injection of a container managed persistence unit is available - use Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(JTA_PU_NAME)

If the Tomcat is not JEE5 compliant, I am sure it will not be JEE6 compliant.
