Romain Manni-Bucau commented on OPENJPA-2886: --------------------------------------------- Hi [~Makkus] , have to admit I didn't spot in the spec if it is legal or not, only saw persistence.xml references, do you have some other ref? In any case, we can support it but I think it is not yet coded so you can do a PR to add this support if needed. tip: using Persistence container api you can specify it programmatically ;) > javax.persistence.schema-generation.database.action setting seems to be > ignored when using Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory() > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OPENJPA-2886 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2886 > Project: OpenJPA > Issue Type: Question > Components: jpa > Affects Versions: 3.1.2 > Environment: TomEE 8.0.6 (and 8.0.9-SNAPSHOT), Netbeans 12.5, MS > Windows 10 > Reporter: Makkus B. > Priority: Major > > As I'm very new to OpenJPA I'm not quite sure, if this the follwing is an > OpenJPA issue but I obeserve that: > When creating a persistence unit via persistence.xml (Tomee 8) openJPA > creates missing entity tables according to the > javax.persistence.schema-generation.database.action property. However, Im > currently testing a 'runtime' datasource configuration like this: > > {code:java} > Properties props = new Properties(); > props.put("javax.persistence.jtaDataSource", "jdbc/dynamicDb"); > props.put("openjpa.ConnectionDriverName", "org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver"); > props.put("openjpa.ConnectionURL", > "jdbc:mariadb://localhost:3306/test"); > props.put("javax.persistence.schema-generation.database.action", > "create"); > EntityManagerFactory factory = > Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("test-unit3", props); > return factory.createEntityManager();{code} > When caling persist() on the created EntityManager I get a rollback excpetion > due to missing database tables although > javax.persistence.schema-generation.database.action is given as "create". > When debugging I can see, that the > javax.persistence.schema-generation.database.action property value is 0. > Two questions: > a) It what I am doing a legal way to create an entity manager at all? > b) Why are no tables created in this case ( but are when using the > persitence.xml)? > > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
