Persistence injection could support casting to OpenJPA types
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: OPENEJB-1233
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-1233
Project: OpenEJB
Issue Type: Wish
Components: connectors
Affects Versions: 3.1.2
Environment: Any
Reporter: Eric Levy
As given in the EJB 3 specification, if a PersistenceContext annotation is used
on a EntityManager field, or a PersistenceUnit is used on a
EntityManagerFactory field, OpenEJB injects the appropriate object. However,
developers may want to want to leverage the additional methods provided by
OpenJPA. Currently, if the annotated types are OpenJPAEntityManager or
OpenJPAEntityManagerFactory, OpenEJB leaves the fields as null. To obtain
OpenJPA types, developers must call the OpenJPAPersistence.cast() method,
generally in a PostContruct annotated method. OpenEJB could detect that the
annotated types are of OpenJPA and perform appropriate casting and injection.
