Talk:EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/Multitenant

I'd love to see an example of how this would look end-to-end with a container managed environment - i.e., how would you incorporate multitenancy into a managed bean (JSF, EJB etc.) currently using @PersistenceContext?

I suppose you could inject a @PersistenceUnit instead, but then how would you manage the EntityManager lifecycle? @PersistenceContext does it all for you. If you do something like call EntityManagerFactory.createEntityManager(map) in a @PostConstruct method, when do you close it? How does it participate in transactions? etc.

If you set the tenant in the persistence.xml (persistence unit) then there is nothing required. If you are using a shared EntityManagerFactory for all tenants, then you need to set the tenant per transaction. This could be done using setProperty() on the EntityManager as the first operation of the transaction. It could also be done using Session events. I agree a Java EE example would be useful.
