Description Sergio CLA 2011-11-06 06:09:55 EST 
When trying to define a static factory method in an abstract class I am obtaining the following exception:

Exception [EclipseLink-171] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.3.0.v20110604-r9504): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DescriptorException
Exception Description: The factory class does not define a public default constructor, or the constructor raised an exception.
Internal Exception: java.lang.InstantiationException
