Utilize Sun JDK's Attach API to dynamically load the OpenJPA enhancer agent
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: OPENJPA-952
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-952
Project: OpenJPA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: kernel
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Environment: Sun 1.6 JDK.
Note: The Attach API is ONLY a part of the JDK, not the SDK.
Reporter: Rick Curtis
When running in a JSE environment, OpenJPA could use the Attach API to
dynamically load the enhancer agent at runtime. Dynamically loading the
enhancer means that an OpenJPA developer doesn't need to configure a
-javaagent. Doing this would dramatically improve the out of box performance,
and also improve the ease of use.
This improvement has the following caveats:
1.) This API is ONLY a part of the 1.6 JDK.
2.) This API is supported by only the Sun JDK.
3.) If the agent is loaded from the earliest OpenJPA code, the agent will be
laoded when creating an EntityManager in the EntityManagerFactoryImpl. If an
Entity class is loaded by the JVM before the enhancer agent is loaded, that
class' byte code will not be enhanced.
