I am currently working on a Java EE project and am working with the Wildfly server.
I have a Web project and EJB project which are deployed onto the Wildfly server.
I can save a user for example, but only for as long as the server is running.
There is no data persistence between server downtimes.
I have searched through the internet but couldn't find an answer.
My persistence.xml looks like this:
<persistence-unit name="primary">
<!-- If you are running in a production environment, add a managed
data source, this example data source is just for development and testing! -->
<!-- The datasource is deployed as WEB-INF/kitchensink-quickstart-ds.xml, you
can find it in the source at src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/kitchensink-quickstart-ds.xml -->
<jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS</jta-data-source>
<properties>
<!-- Properties for Hibernate -->
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop" />
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="false" />
<value="true"/>
</properties>
If I want to persist any information, do i need to reconfigure this file?
I hope you can help me :)
Your problem is this line
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop" />
Everytime when the wildfly starts up, JPA creates a new database model with an empty database.
Adjust your code to
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update" />
You are using "ExampleDS" which is set up as H2 in-memory database by default. It therefore does not persist data between restarts on purpose (useful for development/testing). Go to wildfly's standalone/configuration/standalone.xml configuration file and search for "ExampleDS" in the "datasources" section. It should show:
<connection-url>jdbc:h2:mem:test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE</connection-url>
where "mem" means in-memory. You can change "mem:test" to any write path, e.g.
<connection-url>jdbc:h2:~/test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1</connection-url>
to use a H2 file-based database stored as "test" in your home-folder (assuming *nix).
You can also define additional databases (Postgresql, Oracle, etc) in the datasources-section.

I have two Postgres databases, one for Dev and one for Prod. I also have a Java/Hibernate application that has the following:
persistence.xml
<persistence-unit name="pims">
<jta-data-source>jdbc/pims</jta-data-source>
<properties>
<!-- For JBoss / Hibernate -->
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update" />
<!-- For Glassfish / Toplink -->
<property name="toplink.ddl-generation" value="create-tables"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
Problem
When the JBoss server starts in the Prod environment, it creates the new tables as expected. But when it starts in the DEV environment (same code), it does not create the new tables.
This makes me think there is some setting on the database that prevents the creation of the new tables.
Question
Is there any config on the database that will prevent JPA/Hibernate from creating the new tables?

I'm coding an app that uses Servlet 3.0, Jsp, and JPA 2.0 and i'm deploying it into Websphere application server 8.5.
Since i already configured into the ibm websphere console, the data source and the jdbc driver, and the j2c authentification (i'm using oracle 11g as a database ). I dont know how my persistence.xml should look like, if i need to specify and add openJPA jars to my project.
For now anything i put into persistence.xml i'm having this issue :
Error 500: <openjpa-2.2.3-SNAPSHOT-r422266:1764177 fatal user error> org.apache.openjpa.persistence.ArgumentException
What should i do ? maybe i'm missing how JPA works
Thanks in advance
The OpenJPA jars should be provided by WebSphere and available to use for your application. There is a JPA sample available here: https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/downloads/#asset/samples-Java_Persistence_API_JPA_Sample
In the sample, you can see an example of the persistence.xml file:
<?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="jpasamplepersistenceunit">

<non-jta-data-source>java:comp/env/jdbc/samplejpadatasourcenonjta</non-jta-data-source>
<class>wasdev.sample.jpa.Thing</class>
<exclude-unlisted-classes>true</exclude-unlisted-classes>
<properties>
<!-- These properties are creating the database on the fly. We are using them to avoid users having

<property name="openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings" value="buildSchema(ForeignKeys=true)" />
<property name="openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary" value="derby" />
<!-- EclipseLink specific properties to create the database. They are only used if using the jpa-2.1 feature. -->
<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="drop-and-create-tables" />
<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation.output-mode" value="both" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
I think your error is not caused by the OpenJPA jars not being available. It might be because your database is not configured correctly. Make sure your persistence.xml file refers to your datasources properly.
I'm trying to deploy my project to AWS Elastic Beanstalk, using Docker with preconfigured Glassfish.
Since the project uses JPA, and EJB to create a transactional persistence unit; I create a database connection pool in the Glassfish admin console, then supply the JNDI string to persistence.xml.
All good in my local machine, Amazon won't allow you to use the admin console. I've read this post, which discusses generally how to configure Glassfish with asadmin, but I've found it very hard to follow and sounds very invasive.
Is there a one-size-fits-all solution to create a database connection pool that is automatically allocated on any server I deploy my application to?
Yes. Although this is unfortunately under-documented.
You can create an application scoped connection pool, that Glassfish creates on the fly, when you depoly your war file to it. It will destroy it when undeployed. Though, it is only available to this application on the server.
Here's what you should do. Create a file named glassfish-resources.xml like this (for MySql):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE resources PUBLIC "-//GlassFish.org//DTD GlassFish Application Server 3.1 Resource Definitions//EN" "http://glassfish.org/dtds/glassfish-resources_1_5.dtd">
<resources>
<jdbc-connection-pool datasource-classname="com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlDataSource" name="MySQLPool" res-type="javax.sql.DataSource">
<property name="user" value="someUser"></property>
<property name="password" value="aPassword"></property>
<property name="databaseName" value="aDatabase"></property>
<property name="serverName" value="some.string.you got.from.amazon.rds.amazonaws.com"></property>
<property name="portNumber" value="3306"></property>
</jdbc-connection-pool>
<jdbc-resource pool-name="MySQLPool" jndi-name="jdbc/MySQLPool"></jdbc-resource>
</resources>
And drop it into your WEB-INF directory. You should also place the database connection dependency jar in the lib directory.
Now since this isn't a global JNDI reference, as it is only available to this application, you should access it in persistence.xml with java:app prefix, like this:
<jta-data-source>java:app/jdbc/MySQLPool</jta-data-source>
I have an application running on Glassfish 4.1 that uses a JDBC Resource. In the application itself I have a persistence.xml file that lists all the entities and tells the container which JDBC Resource to use. I have defined some properties to log the SQL it executes. It looks something like this:
<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="MyResource_PU" transaction-type="JTA">
<jta-data-source>jdbc/my_resource</jta-data-source>
<class>com.example.entities.EntityOne</class>
<class>com.example.entities.EntityTwo</class>
<class>com.example.entities.EntityThree</class>
<exclude-unlisted-classes>true</exclude-unlisted-classes>
<properties>
<property name="eclipselink.logging.level.sql" value="FINE"/>
<property name="eclipselink.logging.parameters" value="true"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
Now when this application goes to production, I don't want the SQL to be logged. So every time I do a release, I need to remind myself to change the eclipselink.logging properties.
I thought, there should be a better way to handle this. So I went to the Glassfish admin console, to JDBC Resources and added the 2 properties there, but that doesn't work.
Is there any way to remove the "environment specific" values out of the persistence.xml file and into the Glassfish configuration? I have googled for a while now, but don't seem to find the correct sollution. What I did find is that Hibernate has the option to specify a "configuration file", but I haven't found this for EclipseLink.
We used maintain property files for each environment such as DEV,QA,PROD,UAT etc in different files and copy one of them during build.
Ant build
<property environment="env" />
<!-- ***** COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS DEMOED HERE -->
<property name="build_type" value= "${env.build_type}"/>
<copy todir="deploy">
<fileset dir="src_dir"/>
<globmapper from=${env.build_type}".persistence.xml" to="persistence.xml"/>
</copy>
Run build like this
ant -Denv.build_type=PROD
This will copy PROD.persistence.xml to persistence.xml
ant -Denv.build_type=DEV
This will copy DEV.persistence.xml to persistence.xml
As per glassfish documentation, persistence.xml settings are meant to take precedence over global settings, so I wouldn't recommend anything in a persistence.xml file that you would want to override later.
That said, EclipseLink server integration can make use of a server log, allowing external control over settings. See this for a description of setting logging properties in glassfish that should control the log file EclipseLink writes to. Otherwise, you can define a different log mechanism in your peristence.xml file, such as log4J or a custom one that you can control how you wish as touched on here
Summary
I'm trying to run a Java web application JPA 2.0 example. The example application was written to run in Glassfish, using EclipseLink as JPA provider.
I would like to convert it to run in TomEE with OpenJPA as the JPA provider, but I can't any detailed tutorials for getting up and running with OpenJPA.
Problem
I'm having trouble converting persistence.xml to work with OpenJPA instead of EclipseLink. More specifically, the given persistence.xml doesn't specify:
Entity classes. Are these necessary?
The desired JPA provider. Will the container default to something?
The JDBC driver. How do I specify an "in-memory" DB (just for initial testing purposes)?
Also:
How are the DDL generation properties expressed in OpenJPA? I wasn't able to find them the OpenJPA User Guide.
Details
Below is the EclipseLink 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="order" transaction-type="JTA">
<jta-data-source>jdbc/__default</jta-data-source>
<properties>
<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="drop-and-create-tables" />
<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation.output-mode"
value="both" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
I have the following Entity classes:
order.entity.LineItem
order.entity.LineItemKey
order.entity.Order
order.entity.Part
order.entity.PartKey
order.entity.Vendor
order.entity.VendorPart
Question
Does anyone know what the equivalent persistence.xml would look like for OpenJPA?
Alternatively, if anyone could point me to an OpenJPA tutorial that covers these issues that would be just as good
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
<property name="openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings" value="buildSchema(ForeignKeys=true)"/>
Alternatively, you can use EclipseLink in TomEE by just adding the EclipseLink jars to <CATALINA_HOME>/lib/
refer here for Common PersistenceProvider properties
Foreign key constraints
The next line does not create foreign keys:
<property name="openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings"
value="buildSchema(ForeignKeys=true)"/>
Only creates schema and deletes content of a database.
But if you want create foreign keys, use the following lines:
<property name="openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings"
value="buildSchema(foreignKeys=true,schemaAction='dropDB,add')"/>
<property name="openjpa.jdbc.SchemaFactory"
value="native(foreignKeys=true)" />
<property name="openjpa.jdbc.MappingDefaults"
value="ForeignKeyDeleteAction=restrict, JoinForeignKeyDeleteAction=restrict"/>
See generated SQL
In another way, if you want to see the SQL output:
<property name="openjpa.Log"
value="DefaultLevel=TRACE,SQL=TRACE" />
NOTE: In order to see the generated output in the TomEE console, you need to change the log level in the file loggin.properties with openjpa.level = FINEST
