persistence.xml management [message #433720]

Hi,
Can I get a few more words on what the "management of persistence.xml"
feature in M2 will include? I was thinking of writing a bugzilla
enhancement report for some ideas that I was having regarding the
generation and management of xml configuration files. But, maybe you are
already one step ahead of me. If you could elaborate a bit or point me at
more detailed documentation, it would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Right now our intended support for M2 will is summarized by the following
bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=136725

After that functionality is added, the following bugs are going to be
addressed (in the order shown):
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=136726
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=130580

If you have any use cases you'd like for us to capture or any
functionality that hasn't been described as of yet, please feel free to
post here, add to any of these bugs, or create new ones. We would
*greatly* appreciate the feedback of people who are going to be using this
tool. (And obviously we're not necessarily ahead of you, as two of these
bugs were just created. We're still ramping up our public visibility.)

Thanks,
- Paul

Paul,
Thanks for the reply. Somehow I missed your reply, otherwise I would have
replied sooner...

What I am looking for is the ability to generate the persistence.xml from
the annotated source. The annotated source is what I would be using for
development. I would tweak the annotations until I got the desired
functionality. But, once I go into production with this "Persistence
Unit" with all of the associated classes and jars, I don't want to have to
modify source and re-build just to get some different behaviour. At this
point, I would like to deal with xml files to modify the configuration.

It would be great if Dali could generate the "base" xml files for me.
I've done the annotations in the code, now create the corresponding xml
file(s) so that I know what I have as the base configuration (template, if
you will).

Make sense?

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,

Are you speaking of the orm.xml file (though it may have many different
names) that replicates, for the most part, all the information captured in
the annotations? Or the persistence.xml file (and it *must* have that
name) that describes to the persistence provider runtime where to find all
the persistence information (classes, jars, orm.xml files) that it will
use?

The enhancements that I entered all deal with the latter. As for the
former, orm.xml support has not been targeted for our 0.5 release.

Paul,
I guess I was referring more to the orm.xml file, wasn't I? I was just
clumping the two xml files together. So, the orm.xml file management is
not part of the 0.5 release, huh? Do you know if the generation of the
orm.xml based on the annotated Entities considered one of the requirements
for a future release?

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,
Actually, the requirements post-0.5 haven't been solidified (or even
liquefied) yet, but an enhancement request, especially one with detailed
information, will do nothing but help your request make the list.

Thanks for input!
