Given this java entity, the attached NPE occurs when trying to validate the attribute override. This prevents the rest of the JPA validation from completing.

@Entity
@AttributeOverride(name="bar")
public class Bar {

	@Id
	private int id;
}


You can also see this problem in orm.xml. Remove the AttributeOverride annotation from the java and add this entity to the orm.xml:
<entity class="model.Bar">
	<attribute-override name="bar"></attribute-override>
</entity>


If the class model.Bar is not found, the same exception occurs.
