Thanks for your reply Christian, I didn't know for the hibernate.connection.driver_class,
Currently we externalized the dialect so that the end user can choose which database he want to use, other properties would be used for performance tuning I guess, it's easier to modify a .cfg rather than digging into the jars and change the xml file, Jonathan From: Christian Schneider [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christian Schneider Sent: 16 September 2015 12:32 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Externalize the orm property from the persistence.xml If you are using a data source then hibernate.connection.driver_class should not be necessary. The other ones are needed. Why do you want to externalize them? Btw. in our tests we have properties for hibernate, eclipselink and openjpa side by side. So we can switch the persistence provider without changing the persistence.xml. For a real project the typical case is to use an embedded DB for tests and a bigger one for prod. There again it should not hurt to have both configs in the same persistence.xml. Christian On 16.09.2015 12:24, Delaire, Jonathan wrote: Hi Guys! I'm currently working on a large refactoring of a project with the goal of using the JPA Aries within an OSGi container for persistence (rather than plain old J2EE stack).
