Abstract 'Using the EJB 3.0 Reference Implementation'
The EJB 3.0 specification has perhaps been one of the most talked-about technologies that have stepped on the standards stage in recent memory. At the centre of attention is a lightweight persistence API that acts as a point of convergence for the dominant persistence products currently on the market.
Standardization of persistence inside of the Java EE platform, as well as in the SE environment, will provide enterprise applications with the ability to write to one API and be able to run on the vendor of their choice. This talk will explain how to program with the EJB 3.0 Java Persistence API. It will use the open source TopLink Essentials product, the official Reference Implementation of the API, to explain the core concepts of the API and show how to use them in an application. Topics covered will include:
- EntityManagers and persistence contexts
- Entity life cycle tracking and event handling
- Object-relational mapping using annotations and XML
- Disconnect entity access and merging back of entities
- Dynamic and static queries
- Packaging and deploying
- Using the Java SE API
