EclipseJPA: Building Applications with EclipseLink and Dali

Abstract

With the release of Dali JPA Tools 1.0 as part of the Web Tools Platform in Europa and the availability of the EclipseLink project, a complete JPA development platform and runtime environment are now available from Eclipse. In this session you will learn how to use the Eclipse JPA runtime but also see how the Dali tooling provides a platform for developing portable persistence applications. We'll look at JPA object-relational mappings and what configuration metadata is needed to get an application up and running. As part of the discussion we'll examine the difference between writing applications targeted for a full Java EE 5 container and those built to run in a standalone Java SE environment and how Dali's integration with the Web Tools Platform supports development for a variety of runtime environments.
