I looked at JPA this weekend - I'm positively surprised!
At first I was confused about how everything fit together; JPA, GlassFish, Sun, Java, Oracle, TopLink... What you should know is: 1) GlassFish is the name for the open source development project for building a Java EE 5 application server. It is based on the source code for Sun Java System Application Server PE 9 donated by Sun Microsystems and TopLink persistence code donated by Oracle. 2) TopLink Essentials is the open-source community edition of Oracle's TopLink product. It provides the JPA functionality for the EJB 3.0 Reference Implementation. 3) There is no problem to use JPA (TopLink Essentials) without having to go Java EE 5 completely. In fact it seems to be a clean and compact API. Look here: https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/nonav/repository/javax.persistence/ persistence-api-1.0.jar contains the JPA specifications only. toplink-essentials-1.0.jar contains the JPA specifications and reference implementation. Then if you use eclipse you look at Dali: http://www.eclipse.org/dali/ Looks good to me! I feel these are the tools I'll be using in the future, but I'll miss PriDE. I really think there is much to like about a framework like that. http://pride.sourceforge.net/PriDE-Inside.html PriDE's main disadvantage is that it's not buzz word compliant. /Anders Gustavo Santucho wrote: > > any wicket example that uses EJB3 and Java Persistence 1.0 > > Nathan's Databinder will give you ideas and simplicity here ( if you > ignore the Maven thing, of course.... ;-) ) > Note that the Hibernate Session and the JPA EntityManager are almost > indentical concepts. > In fact, if you use Hibernate as the JPA implementation, they are the > same thing. > > JPA makes accessing databases *really* simple. > And you don't need EJB: I'm using JPA (TopLink) in a JSE project. > > ----- > Gustavo. > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
