Working with other persistence providers

A project to build integration for persistence providers like EclipseLink, is here.

Troubleshooting

“org.jboss.as.jpa” logging can be enabled to get the following information: INFO - when persistence.xml has been parsed, starting of persistence unit service (per deployed persistence.xml), stopping of persistence unit service DEBUG - informs about entity managers being injected, creating/reusing transaction scoped entity manager for active transaction TRACE - shows how long each entity manager operation took in milliseconds, application searches for a persistence unit, parsing of persistence.xml

To enable TRACE, open the as/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml (or as/domain/configuration/domain.xml) file. Search for <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:logging:1.0"> and add the org.jboss.as.jpa category

Packaging the Hibernate 3.5 or greater 3.x JPA persistence provider with your application

jboss.as.jpa.providerModule needs to be set to hibernate3-bundled.

<property name="jboss.as.jpa.providerModule" value="hibernate3-bundled" />

Sharing the Hibernate 3.5 or greater JPA persistence provider between multiple applications

Applications can share the same Hibernate3 (for Hibernate 3.5 or greater) persistence provider by manually creating an org.hibernate:3 module (in the AS/modules folder). Steps to create the Hibernate3 module:

<property name="jboss.as.jpa.providerModule" value="org.hibernate:3" />

Changes for Hibernate 3.5 applications

if your application uses Hibernate 3 classes that are not available in Hibernate 4, for example, some of the validator or search classes, you may see ClassNotFoundExceptions when you deploy your application. If you encounter this problem, you can try one of two approaches: You may be able to resolve the issue by copying the specific Hibernate 3 JARs containing those classes into the application "/lib" directory or by adding them to the classpath using some other method. In some cases this may result in ClassCastExceptions or other class loading issues due to the mixed use of the Hibernate versions, so you will need to use the second approach. You need to tell the server to use only the Hibernate 3 libraries and you will need to add exclusions for the Hibernate 4 libraries. Details on how to do this are described here: JPA Reference Guide.

In previous versions of the application server, the JCA data source configuration was defined in a file with a suffix of *-ds.xml. This file was then deployed in the server's deploy directory. The JDBC driver was copied to the server lib/ directory or packaged in the application's WEB-INF/lib/ directory. In AS7, this has all changed. You will no longer package the JDBC driver with the application or in the server/lib directory. The *-ds.xml file is now obsolete and the datasource configuration information is now defined in the standalone/configuration/standalone.xml or in the domain/configuration/domain.xml file. A JDBC 4-compliant driver can be installed as a deployment or as a core module. A driver that is JDBC 4-compliant contains a META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver file that specifies the driver class name. A driver that is not JDBC 4-compliant requires additional steps, as noted below.

DataSource Configuration

domain mode, the configuration file is the domain/configuration/domain.xml

standalone mode, you will configure the datasource in the standalone/configuration/standalone.xml

MySQL datasource element:

        <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/YourApplicationURL</connection-url>        <driver-class> com.mysql.jdbc.Driver </driver-class>        <driver> mysql-connector-java-5.1.15.jar </driver>

       <security>            <user-name> USERID </user-name>            <password> PASSWORD</password>        </security>

example of the driver element for driver that is not JDBC 4-compliant. The driver-class must be specified since it there is no META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver file that specifies the driver class name.

 <driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>

JDBC driver can be installed into the container in one of two ways: either as a deployment or as a core module

Install the JDBC driver

Install the JDBC driver as a deployment

In AS7 standalone mode, you simply copy the JDBC 4-compliant JAR into the AS7_HOME/standalone/deployments directory

example of a MySQL JDBC driver installed as a deployment:     AS7_HOME/standalone/deployments/mysql-connector-java-5.1.15.jar
