AriesTrader updated for Application Managed JPA persistence

[Joe Bohn <jo...@gmail.com>]

I have enhanced the AriesTrader sample application to include 
Application Managed JPA persistence.  This is in addition to the JDBC 
direct persistence provided earlier.

I have also added an additional equinox assembly to the sample which 
will support all available persistence mechanisms that we might make 
available for the sample.  It is located under 
ariestrader-sample/assemblies/ariestrader-all-equinox.  It uses OpenJPA 
for the persistence provider and is still hard wired to Derby.  My plan 
is to continue to enhance this 'all' assembly with additional 
persistence solutions - the next one being Container Managed JPA - but 
for now it only includes JDBC and Application Managed JPA.

There is also the beginnings of some wiki documentation on the 
AriesTrader sample and how to build, run (both the 'jdbc' and the 'all' 
assemblies), and access the running sample.  It can be found at this 
location:

http://incubator.apache.org/aries/ariestrader.html

There are still some rough edges and the code should be cleaned up some 
more but it works end-to-end now (with a few tricks).   I'm starting to 
experiment with container managed jpa persistence now (not sure how far 
I can get with that yet).

Finally, I have not yet included ariestrader-sample in the default build 
and so it must be built independently.  Please let me know your thoughts 
if this should be included in the build.  It takes about 1 minute to 
build once all of the dependencies are downloaded.

If there are no concerns with ariestrader in the build then I'll go 
ahead and make the change.   Last chance to voice any concern.
