How to integrate EclipseLink into existing Client/Server application ? [message #523175] Thu, 25 March 2010 12:46 Go to next message

I would like to replace our homemade persistence layer with EclipseLink. The problem I currently have is how to incrementally integrate it in our existing application.

Example:

- User saves data on a data entry form. This starts a transaction using some old JBuilder components.

- a beforePost event is generated and triggers the update of some other data. This update is currently done with a very simple persistence layer wich I would like to replace with EclipseLink. But it seems that EclipseLink needs its own transaction. Is it possible that EclipseLink just executes the SQL without starting its own transaction ?

Regards
Roger

If you are using JTA, or Spring, then EclipseLink would just join the existing transaction.

Otherwise, you will need a way to force the JDBC connection that EclipseLink is using to be you existing one. The DatabaseLogin option setUsesExternalTransactionController() will make EclipseLink not begin a transaction, but the bigger issue is getting it to use the same connection. You will most likely need to create your own ConnectionPool, or hammer the DatabaseAccessor into the EclipseLink ClientSession.

Thanks four your answer. I tried to use setUsesExternalTransactionController() but couldn't see any difference. At least a em.getTransaction().begin(); and em.getTransaction().commit seem to behave as before.

After that I tried the following which seems to work, but I'm not sure if this will cause any side effects.

Regards
Roger

  
	List<Vkprlist> vks = Vkprlist.getData();

	EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence
				.createEntityManagerFactory("test2");
	EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
	em.getTransaction().begin();

	Connection con = em.unwrap(Connection.class);

        // do some JDBC processing

	for (Vkprlist vk : vks) {
			em.merge(vk);
	}
		
			
	em.flush();

        // do some JDBC processing
		
	try {
		con.commit();
		} catch (SQLException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}

	em.close();
