OpenEJB 3.1 and EclipseLink

[Henri Gomez <he...@gmail.com>]

Hi to all,

For one of our project we need to use EclipseLink as JPA provider.

Will it be officially provided / supported in the upcoming OpenEJB 3.1 ?

Regards

The JPA spec defines interfaces for plugging a JPA provider into an  
app server, so any compliant JPA provider should work with OpenEJB.   
One tiny thing the JPA Provider API left out was a way for the  
Provider to get a reference to the TransactionManager, so most  
providers like Hibernate, EclipseLink/TopLink have some sort of  
persistence.xml setting to specify where the TransactionManager can be  
found.  Though not strictly required, we did add some functionality  
specific to Hibernate, EclipseLink, and TopLink to automatically set  
their vendor-specific property so that the user doesn't have to worry  
about it (didn't need one for OpenJPA is it's smart enough to figure  
it out on it's own).  But that's the only vendor/provider specific  
code we have.  The rest is all done through standard APIs.

Well that's the question, I see sample of JPA in OpenEJB 3.1 but I'd
like to know from OpenEJB developpers if it will be officially
supported

See \examples\jpa-eclipselink

I don't know, that's why I'm asking to experts, here

You didn't answer my question. Is EclipseLink working with OpenEJB 3.1 
snapshots or not? Have you tested it?
What kind of changes would it potentially require to OpenEJB?

Well it will be the JPA 2.0 RI and will be a strong requirement for
many projects, so having it in Open EJB 3.1 will be a big bonus.

For our project, it's mandatory, so to determine if we could use
OpenEJB 3.1, we need it

EclipseLink looks interesting indeed. What kind of support would it 
likely need from OpenEJB?
