OpenJPA

OpenJPA is bundled with OpenEJB as the default persistence provider.

An example of working persistence.xml for OpenJPA:

<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" version="1.0">

  <persistence-unit name="movie-unit">
    <jta-data-source>movieDatabase</jta-data-source>
    <non-jta-data-source>movieDatabaseUnmanaged</non-jta-data-source>
    <class>org.superbiz.injection.jpa.Movie</class>

    <properties>
      <property name="openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings" value="buildSchema(ForeignKeys=true)"/>
    </properties>
  </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Where the datasources above are configured in your openejb.xml as follows:

<Resource id="movieDatabase" type="DataSource">
  JdbcDriver = org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
  JdbcUrl = jdbc:hsqldb:mem:moviedb
</Resource>

<Resource id="movieDatabaseUnmanaged" type="DataSource">
  JdbcDriver = org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
  JdbcUrl = jdbc:hsqldb:mem:moviedb
  JtaManaged = false
</Resource>

Or in properties as follows:

p.put("movieDatabase", "new://Resource?type=DataSource");
p.put("movieDatabase.JdbcDriver", "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");
p.put("movieDatabase.JdbcUrl", "jdbc:hsqldb:mem:moviedb");

p.put("movieDatabaseUnmanaged", "new://Resource?type=DataSource");
p.put("movieDatabaseUnmanaged.JdbcDriver", "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");
p.put("movieDatabaseUnmanaged.JdbcUrl", "jdbc:hsqldb:mem:moviedb");
p.put("movieDatabaseUnmanaged.JtaManaged", "false");

Common exceptions

Table not found in statement

Or as derby will report it "Table 'abc.xyz' doesn’t exist"

Someone has to create the database structure for your persistent objects. If you add the openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings property as shown below OpenJPA will auto-create all your tables, all your primary keys and all foreign keys exactly to match your objects.

<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" version="1.0">

 <persistence-unit name="movie-unit">
   <!-- your other stuff -->

   <properties>
     <property name="openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings" value="buildSchema(ForeignKeys=true)"/>
   </properties>
 </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Auto-commit can not be set while enrolled in a transaction

Pending

This broker is not configured to use managed transactions.

Setup

Using a EXTENDED persistence context …​

@PersistenceContext(unitName = "movie-unit", type = PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED)
EntityManager entityManager;

on a persistence unit setup as RESOURCE_LOCAL …​

<persistence-unit name="movie-unit" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
  ...
</persistence-unit>

inside of a transaction.

@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)
public void addMovie(Movie movie) throws Exception {
    entityManager.persist(movie);
}

Note the default transaction attribute for any ejb method is REQUIRED unless explicitly set otherwise in the bean class or method in question.

Solutions

You can either:

  1. Change your bean or it’s method to use TransactionAttributeType.NOT_REQUIRED or TransactionAttributeType.NEVER which will guarantee it will not be invoked in a JTA transaction.

  2. Change your persistence.xml so the persistence-unit uses transaction-type="TRANSACTION" making it capable of participating in a JTA transaction.
