14 Tenant Isolation Using EclipseLink

With EclipseLink, you can develop a single application and then deploy it for different clients, or "tenants," with varying degrees of application and data isolation and of tenant-specific functionality. For example, a large company may develop a single payroll application to be used by multiple divisions. Each division has access to its own data and to shared data, but they cannot see any other division's data.

Use Case

Solution

Decide on a strategy for tenant isolation; then use EclipseLink's tenant isolation features to implement the strategy.
