__NOTOC__
 
= persistence.xml =
 
A persistence unit configures various details that are required when you acquire an entity manager. You specify a persistence unit by name when you acquire an entity manager factory.
 
  
You configure persistence units in the JPA persistence descriptor file: '''persistence.xml'''. This file should be in the '''meta-inf/''' directory of your persistence unit jar file, or classpath.
 
  
In this file, you can specify the vendor extensions that this reference describes by using a '''<properties>''' element.

==How to Specify the Persistence Unit Name==
+
 
+
If you are developing your application in a Java EE environment, ensure that the persistence unit name is unique within each module. For example, you can define only one persistence unit with the name '''EmployeeService''' in an '''emp_ejb.jar''' file. The following example shows how to define the name of the persistence unit:
+
 
+
<persistence-unit name="EmployeeService">
+
{{Template:EclipseLink_Spec
+
|section=Section 6.2.1 "persistence.xml file"
+
}}
+
 
+
==Additional Properties==
+
Use these '''persistence.xml'' or persistence unit properties to further configure your JPA application.
+
* '''javax.persistence.transactionType''' - Standard JPA PersistenceUnitTransactionType property: '''JTA''' or '''RESOURCE_LOCAL'''
+
* '''javax.persistence.jtaDataSource''' - Standard JPA JTA DataSource name.
+
* '''javax.persistence.nonJtaDataSource''' - Standard JPA non-JTA DataSource name.
+
* '''javax.persistence.jdbc.driver''' - Standard JPA 2.0 JDBC driver class name for JSE deployments <br />In EclipseLink 1.1, this property was '''eclipselink.jdbc.driver'''.
+
* '''javax.persistence.jdbc.url''' - Standard JPA 2.0 JDBC URL for JSE deployments<br />[[Image:Elug_note_icon.png]] In EclipseLink 1.1, this property was '''eclipselink.jdbc.url'''.
+
* '''javax.persistence.jdbc.user''' - Standard JPA 2.0 database user for JSE deployments<br />[[Image:Elug_note_icon.png]] In EclipseLink 1.1, this property was '''eclipselink.jdbc.user'''.
+
* '''javax.persistence.jdbc.password''' - Standard JPA 2.0 database password for JSE deployments<br />[[Image:Elug_note_icon.png]] In EclipseLink 1.1, this property was '''eclipselink.jdbc.password'''.
