For those of you wanting to try out JPA2 in Apache Geronimo before the
JSR-317 spec is finalized and before our 3.0 release, now you can. I've
created a set of plugins -
Geronimo Plugins, OpenJPA2 :: CAR
Geronimo Plugins, OpenJPA2 :: Deployer
that use the OpenJPA 2.0.0-M3 release [1], which is based on the early
access JPA 2.0 Public Final Draft #2.
[1] http://openjpa.apache.org/openjpa-200-milestone-3.html
For Geronimo 2.1.3, 2.1.4 and 2.1.5-SNAPSHOT servers, please install the
2.1.3-M3-SNAPSHOT version of the plugins, while Geronimo 2.2-SNAPSHOT
users should install the 2.2-M3-SNAPSHOT version.
To install into an existing Tomcat or Jetty Java EE 5 assembly:
1) Start the server and log into the Admin Console -
http://localhost:8080/console/
2) Navigate to Applications -> Plugins
3) In the Install Plugins portlet, choose the installation Repository -
http://geronimo.apache.org/plugins/openjpa2/
4) Press the "Show Plugins in selected repository" button
a) Select the following plugins to install for your server version -
Geronimo Plugins, OpenJPA2 :: CAR
Geronimo Plugins, OpenJPA2 :: Deployer
b) Press Install
c) On the confirmation panel, press Install
d) Once the plugins are installed, press Done
5) Start the following modules if they are not running -
a) Navigate to Applications -> System Modules
b) Verify the following are started or press the "Start" link -
org.apache.geronimo.configs/persistence-jpa20-deployer//car
org.apache.geronimo.configs/openjpa2//car
org.apache.geronimo.configs/openejb-deployer//car
org.apache.geronimo.configs/openejb//car
6) Restart the Server, so the loaded JPA 1.0 modules can be replaced
with the new JPA 2.0 modules.
Enjoy!
