Background
Plain old Java application, no web servers attached (not even JBoss), is using JPA to query a database.
Problem
The JDBC password is exposed in persistence.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd">
<persistence-unit name="PU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<properties>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:postgresql:DATABASE"/>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="USERNAME"/>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="org.postgresql.Driver"/>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="PASSWORD"/>
<property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class" value="org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider"/>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="validate"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
Idea
It might be possible to instantiate a JNDI subcontext to set the password within the application's main method. This would possibly permit using a JTA data source:
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"
version="2.0">
<persistence-unit name="PU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<jta-data-source>java:/DefaultDS</jta-data-source>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
Question
How would you externalize the password such that it no longer exists inside persistence.xml?
Note: persistence.xml is stored in a public repository, so it would be nice if the password wasn't screaming 'please hack me'. Instead, the JDBC connection information should be in a file that doesn't get checked into the repository.
The password can be externalized by overriding the properties when instantiating the EntityManagerFactory:
private EntityManagerFactory getEntityManagerFactory() {
return Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory( getPersistenceUnitName(),
getProperties() );
}
private Map getProperties() {
Map result = new HashMap();
// Read the properties from a file instead of hard-coding it here.
// Or pass the password in from the command-line.
result.put( "javax.persistence.jdbc.password", "PASSWORD" );
return result;
}

I'm trying to connect my mongoDb with JPA using Eclipselink, but got an error. I have tried a few things. But I got the same error every time. All imports are with Maven.
This is my Persistence.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">

En this is how I create my EntityManager
EntityManager em = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("mongodb").createEntityManager();
My error :
No Persistence provider for EntityManager named mongodb
It's weird because JPA create the database in mongodb. I check that in my commandprompt.
> show dbs
admin 0.000GB
local 0.000GB
odm_eclipselink 0.000GB
This is the (bottom) error from the stack trace:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to retrieve EntityManagerFactory for unitName null
at com.sun.enterprise.container.common.impl.EntityManagerWrapper.init(EntityManagerWrapper.java:138)
at com.sun.enterprise.container.common.impl.EntityManagerWrapper._getDelegate(EntityManagerWrapper.java:171)
at com.sun.enterprise.container.common.impl.EntityManagerWrapper.createQuery(EntityManagerWrapper.java:477)
...
The code is as follows (inspired by a #BalusC's example I found on SO today):
#Stateless
public class GradService {
#PersistenceContext
private EntityManager em;
public List<Grad> listAll() {
return em.createQuery("SELECT g FROM Grad g", Grad.class).getResultList();
}
}
As reference, this is my persistence.xml (webmodule-root:Configuration files:WEB-INFMETA-INF:persistence.xml

It seems, that you placed your persistence.xml file in wrong location. It should by located in /META-INF/ folder and not in WEB-INF.
I tried to get Spring-MVC, Hibernate, JTA with a Postgres Server to work.
I got most of the stuff working (Read from Db through EntityManager without JTA), but I can't get the transactions to work with JTA.

If I provide my datasource from my servlet I get an Exception like
DataSourceLookupFailureException: Failed to look up JNDI DataSource with name 'dataSource'
I also found resources saying the datasource should be defined in the application-server (but I am not sure about this one). If it is important I use a Tomcat-server.
My application uses JPA and JavaDB in embedded mode. In the persistence.xml file I use this property:
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:derby:meuspiladb;create=true" />
so an empty database will be created if it does not exist yet.
Currently I have a create_tables.sql file where I put the SQL code to create the tables, and then I run it manually after the database is created. I would like to make this be automatic but I don't know how.
If the database is new I have to create the tables. What is the best way to create them from Java code?
My persistence.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd">

You can use Hibernate with JPA, then use configuration option hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create.
I have embedded derby database and i work with jpa. This is my persistence.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence
version="2.0"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
<persistence-unit name="pers">
<class>entities.Leverancier</class>
<class>entities.Prijsproduct</class>
<class>entities.Product</class>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
What should i change or add to get this working. When I run my code now I get the following:
Exception in thread "main" javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named pers
at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:55)
at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:33)

Your persistence.xml is not correct. Look at a sample below:
<persistence-unit name="MyAppPU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
<!-- This is where you mention your JPA runtime provider e.g. it's EclipseLink here -->
<provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>
<class>mypkg.MyEntity</class>
<properties>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/my_schema"/>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="pass"/>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver"/>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="user"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
You also have to make sure that you put your JPA provider jar files (along with the derby-client jar) in the classpath.
