JPA is the wrapper as far as I understand.
In the current version I recall there being a "Manager" interface that
encapsulates the Hibernate API, and I thought the JPA work was another
implementation of that interface. Am I wrong?
Thats correct. JPA implementation of roller is another implementation of
the "*Manager" interfaces.
Hibernate implements JPA, other things implement JPA.
Roller won't require any "vendor-specific" extensions to the JPA?
I've been reading "Java Persistence with Hibernate" and the authors
imply that to do anything "real" you'll need extensions to JPA whether
you use Hibernate or not.
Thats not entirely true. For example we were able to implement all of
roller backend functionality without requiring any vendor specific
extension :)
