This guide is intended for developers who want to use the Java Persistence API (JPA) in JEUS® (hereafter JEUS). The JPA is an object-relational mapping technology (ORM) with which applications can access a relational database and which replaces entity beans previously supported by EJB.
To understand the basic concepts and applications of JEUS, it is recommended that users refer to the following:
This guide includes examples and environment settings in UNIX. To use them in other environments such as Microsoft Windows™ (hereafter Windows), users need to consider several conditions.
For example, the Unix delimiter "/" should be replaced with the Windows delimiter "\". The environment variables also need to be specified using (%%). Note that JEUS_HOME referred to in this guide is the home directory of JEUS.
This guide contains materials regarding Java SE, but it does not provide details about the Java EE specifications or JMX. For such details, see the Java documentation.
This guide consists of three chapters.
Describes JPA and JEUS.
"Chapter 2. Configuring the Provider"
Describes how to configure EclipseLink, the basic provider of JEUS.
"Chapter 3. Changing the Provider"
Describes how to change the basic provider of JEUS.
