MFP Java适配器上的JPA

Question

I've created a Java adapter in MFP 7.0. The adapter is running on the local development server (Liberty). Since I couldn't find any references in the documentation, is there a possibility to use JPA within the Java adapter to access DB data?

Where do I need to put the persistence.xml? Is there any configuration I have to do on the Liberty profile server.xml? Where do I need to put the DB driver's library jar (EclipseLink)?

Attached you'll find the code from the Java adapter:

@GET
public String performJPAQuery(){
    String result = null;

    Person marco = new Person();
    marco.setId(1);
    marco.setName("Marco");

    // connection details should be loaded from persistence.xml
    EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("jpa-test");

    EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();

    EntityTransaction tx = em.getTransaction();

    tx.begin();

    em.persist(marco);

    tx.commit();

    // Querying the contents of the database using JPQL query
    Query q = em.createQuery("SELECT p FROM Person p");

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    List<Person> results = q.getResultList();

    logger.info("List of persons\n----------------");

    for (Person p : results) {
        logger.info(p.getName() + " (id=" + p.getId() + ")");
    }

    // Closing connection
    em.close();

    emf.close();

    return result;
}

This is how my persistence.xml looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" 
  encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0" 
         xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" 
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">

    <persistence-unit name="jpa-test" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>
        <class>com.sample.Person</class>
        <properties>
            <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="org.sqlite.JDBC" />
            <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:sqlite:sample.db" />
            <property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="drop-and-create-tables" />
            <property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation.output-mode" value="database" />
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

That is definitely possible. The location of the persistence.xml file should be as described here . Besides that, you will have to either:

1. use the connection using JNDI (in which case you do not need the javax.persistence.jdbc.url parameter).
2. along to the javax.persistence.jdbc.url parameter put the user credentials to your DB in persistence.xml (if you go for this option google for it, as it depends on the JPA/EclipseLink vesion, but probably this is a good start).
3. Instantiate manually EVERYTHING, in which case you do not need the persistence.xml file. This option is much more complicated, but also more flexible. I did it with Hibernate once, thus cannot help you with EclipseLink.
