Hi Patrick,

I don't think there would be an issue with calling it unitName or persistenceUnitName, as in getUnitName() or getPersistenceUnitName(). It will be common for people to try to figure out what the Id property from a Configuration really means so the more help we give them the easier it will be to remember.

openjpa.unitName
openjpa.persistenceUnitName

Maybe I'm missing something obvious...

Hi,

It's useful in a number of places to get an identifier for a particular
Configuration. For example, as we discussed a few months ago, it would
be useful if the logging subsystem automatically wrote the persistence
unit's ID along with log messages if no such ID was specified in the log
configuration.

Any objections to such an addition? In a JPA environment, this would
correspond to the persistence unit's unitName attribute.

Any suggestions for a better name than openjpa.Id for the property? This
would result in an OpenJPAConfiguration.getId() method call that
returned a String.
