Hi,
I wanted to begin getting a little discussion on the JPA deployer as I
am beginning to work on this. So I wanted to throw out some
discussions
for architecture that may affect the entire OpenEJB as I would really
like that our deployers are consistent. Forgive me in advance if I am
asking ignorant questions as I am spewing my thoughts...and they
are not
always intelligent ;-)
Yea, i have the same questions in my head. Generally "what is
deployment going to look like?" Not too many concrete answers yet,
just a vague image with lots of holes in it still. This will be a
moving target for a bit longer.
Regardless, supporting an Application-managed entity manager doesn't
require any fancy container work as it's supportable in a Java SE
environment. Since OpenJPA is going to be available soon, we might
want to think about adding Application-managed entity manager support
in Geronimo now so servlets or ejbs could look them up from JNDI.
For those reading; application-managed entity manager support is
litterally just about making the provider's EntityManagerFactory
available to the application in JNDI as-is and with no special JTA
hookups, connection tracking, or anything.
What do you think about that? If you like it, let's propose it on
