EclipseLink/Examples/JPA


The following examples are provided to assist developers with their adoption and usage of EclipseLink's JPA and native ORM functionality. See the EclipseLink Solutions Guide and Understanding EclipseLink (Concepts Guide) for details.

Source code to several of these examples, and to other examples can be found in EclipseLink's SVN repository, here, or accessed through SVN, or downloads.

Application Server Tutorials

  • The following tutorials are for enterprise developers interested in container or application managed persistence using the JPA 1.0 or 2.0 API.
  • See the Distributed JPA Application case study on how a Service/Workers parallel pattern based application uses JPA to deal with Optimistic lock exception scenarios using Java EE 6 API elements - specifically as a single persistence unit used by the distributed application as an alternative to using a shared L2 cache.

Enterprise Application Servers

  • Java EE 5 Compliant Application Servers
  • Step by step instructions by container for a quick-start Java EE EclipseLink JPA container-managed Application using a single JPA Entity on the major subset of all application servers
  • We use a standard container managed @PersistenceContext(..TransactionType dependency injected EntityManager) that is injected on a @Stateless session bean so that the container can provide a thread safe proxy wrapper around the @NotThreadSafe EntityManager and provide us with instrumented transaction management and change tracking. The client servlet gets injected with the @EJB SSB by the web container and is completely separated from the JPA persistence concern.
  • These tutorials need to be finished and/or expanded - vote for EclipseLink bug# 308477 if you would like this work to be fast tracked.

Issues
Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.6.0 / 12c 5 + (JPA 2.0, JSF 2, JAX-RS 1.1)

EAREJBWAR

- See application-scoped datasource workaround.

- TODO 20100115: Update for WebLogic 10.3.6 and JPA 2.0 - Verify weaving works in container and application managed EM modes (the current data model only uses @OneToOne and @ManyToMany)

Oracle WebLogic Tutorials

Oracle OC4J 10.1.3.5 1.4 (with EJB 3.0)

EAREJBWAR

- Updated for version 10.1.3.5
GlassFish V3 6 - - Use V3 prelude - not TP2

- Use the 1.0.9+ snapshot plugin (with fixed library references) against a prelude server - currently at b73 which runs EclipseLink 2.0 with JPA 2.0 support out of the box

GlassFish V2.1.1 5 - - Requires GlassFish V2.1 build 32

- Current Production Release

- migrating from TopLink Essentials to EclipseLink

SUN Application Server 9.1 5 - - See GlassFish V2 which is included in Sun AS 9
SAP NetWeaver Application Server 7.2 5
JBoss 6.0.0M1 6

EAREJBWAR

- Updated for JBoss 6.0.0M1

- Dynamic weaving is disabled due to (JIRA-572)

- see static weaving workaround using the JBoss JSFEJB3 example

TODO: >rework tutorial for JBoss 6.0.0 M1

IBM WebSphere 7.0.0.5 5 309201 CM EAR

- Updated for Container Managed and Application Managed scenarios as of 20100419

- There is no WAS 7.0 Eclipse WTP Server plugin yet - you can attach the Eclipse IDE to a WebSphere 7 server in debug mode on port 7777

IBM WebSphere 6.1.0.0 1.4/5 - - Supports JPA1/EJB3 with optional feature pack on Java SE 1.5

- The WAS 6.1 Eclipse WTP Server plugin (ehr 160221) should be in the next release of Ganymede 3.4 in Dec08 - or use manual or python deployment
