Hello Guy, 
 
 Thanks for your answer. Will try it out and provide feedback.  
 
 Regarding @Unique: it's an JPA annotation that enforces a uniqueness constraint on a database column. And my question was referring to whether this can be used in a multi-tenant environment, i.e. Enforcing uniqueness only within a tenant.

    Hi Theo, 
       
      Yes, EclipseLink's multitenant supports adding and removing
      tenants at runtime. You are not restricted by the persistence.xml
      file. Below are a few links that describe our support and usage
      further. In a nutshell you decorate your multitenant entities with
      @Multitenant and @TenantDiscriminatorColumns (optional) and can
      provide tenant id's at the Persistence unit, entity manager factor
      or entity manager level based on your requirements/needs.

      As for @Unique, I'm not aware of this annotation and its usage in
      EclipseLink's multitenant solution. Where did you see this used? 
       
      Cheers, 
      Guy

        Hi, 
         
         
        I want to
            convert my current Java EE 6 app to support multi-tenancy.
            At first, I was gonna do it "manually" by adding a tenant-id
            into every entity and include it in the every query. But
            then, I came across EclipseLink's support for
            multi-tenancy.  
         
           
        My
            question: I want to be able to add/remove tenants at
            runtime. I don't need any tenant-specific customization.
            Does EclipseLink support this? And how does @Unique behave?
            Is it restricted to one tenant or does it apply across all
            tenants? I watched the screencast and read the wiki about
            Multi-tenancy. It looks like you can only add tenants at
            deployment time (by changing the persistence XML file) 
         
           
        Thanks, 
        Theo
