General

What is OpenJPA?

OpenJPA is a 100% open-source implementation of the Java Persistence API (JPA), which is the persistence component for EJB in the Java EE 5 specification.

What is the history of OpenJPA?

OpenJPA has its roots in the popular Kodo product, which was created by SolarMetric, Inc. in 2001. BEA Systems, Inc. purchased SolarMetric in November of 2005, and soon thereafter announced that they would be donating the bulk of the code to the Apache Software Foundation. OpenJPA is the result of that donation.

What is the current relationship between Kodo and OpenJPA?

Version 4.1 of Kodo will be based on the OpenJPA code base.

What is the current status of the project?
