Dali JPA Tools
JPA 2.0 Support and EclipseLink 2.0 Platform
-
A number of new JPA 2.0 concepts have been implemented in this milestone in both
the Generic and EclipseLink (2.0) platforms. An EclipseLink 2.0 Platform has been
added for more customized EclipseLink support.
JPA 2.0 Cache support
-
Shared-Cache-Mode and Cacheable support have been added to the Dali UI, with persistence-unit,
platform, and inheritance based defaults.

JPA 2.0 Canonical Metamodel generation
-
Dali has added native support for JPA 2.0 canonical metamodel generation. Dali allows you to
specify a source folder for the metamodel to be generated. The metamodel is updated automatically
when changes are made to entities in the persistence unit. This is offered as an alternative
to APT based implementations that may be offered by JPA implementations.

Document version upgrade
-
To help with migration from JPA 1.0 to JPA 2.0, Dali offers a menu item on XML artifacts that
can be updated to a newer version, which is necessary to get the latest UI for 2.0 features.
