Hi,
My question is if it is possible to initialize EclipseLink at runtime without making use of hardcopy files (like
persistence.xml or orm.xml). Can the mapping be supplied as an inputstream for example?

AFAIK Eclipselink can completely be configured using Java code. However, I'm not sure if the JPA standard requires the persistence.xml to be present (so that would be a definition issue).

Using the JPA Persistence class, you need to have a persistence.xml.

You could call the EclipseLink PersistenceProvider class directly, or create the EclipseLink EntityManagerFactoryImpl directly.

You would still need some way to define your persistence info and mappings. You could create your EclipseLink ServerSession and ClassDescriptor and DatabaseMappings directly through code, or use the MetadataProcessor to parse your annotations if you have that.

Why can't you have a file? Where is your mapping info coming from?

Thanks, I am generating the orm mapping at runtime therefore it is far more handier to not have it in a file somewhere.

The easiest would be if there is an api which just gets an inputstream or string which I can use. Does such an api exist
(this is what the MetaDataProcessor can do, correct?)?
Btw, I could not find the MetadataProcessor class (I am using Helios), where is it located?

I still would need a persistence.xml file somewhere? Or is there a way to also do that part programmatically?

gr. Martin

It might be easier to build the RelationalDescriptor and DatabaseMappings directly, instead of generating an orm.xml file then parsing it.

MetadataProcessor is in,
org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.metadata
