Is OpenJPA jdk1.4 compatible?
Hi,
Is OpenJPA jdk1.4 compatible? I was trying out writing JPA without using
annotations on Entities but writing a orm.xml instead..
When I try running my application with OpenJPA in jdk1.4 enviorment I
get the following error:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: javax/persistence/Persistence
(Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)
That means, I am trying to run Java 5 compliant byte code in a Java 1.4
VM. But there are quite a few places in the code I have seen "if
(JavaVersions.VERSION >= 5) {"
check present. That means it certainly has options to run in Java 1.4
enviorment.
Even maven builds few projects of openJPA in jdk1.4 enviorment.
I guess, I am missing out something. Do I have to call OpenJPA api
directly without going through JPA specification in jdk1.4 enviorment?
Any poineters to this will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Aditi
I am not the best, but certainly not like the rest.

Hi,
JPA API depends intrinsically on generics -- a JDK 1.5 feature.
Consider, for example, a method on EntityManager to find an instance by its identifier.
public <T> T find(Class<T> cls, Object id);
A significant portion of OpenJPA codebase, however, is compatiable (and compiled with) JDK 1.4. The rest of the code where the façade pattern that sits atop OpenJPA kernel to emulate JPA API depends on JDK 1.5 as the JPA API itself uses generics. So annotations or no annotations, a JPA application essentially requires JDK1.5.

Thanks Craig, that was helpful.
I was probably too ambitiously thinking I can make JPA minus annotations run on Java 1.4 enviorment :)

Hi Aditi,
In order to use the JSR 220 Persistence API you need to run in Java 5.
OpenJPA itself currently supports jdk 1.4 but to use it in 1.4 mode you have to use only the 1.4 components, that is, proprietary OpenJPA components.
Hope that helps,
Craig
