EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/Migration/JBoss

Migrating from Hibernate to EclipseLink within the JBoss JSFEJB3 Example

  • These instructions are for users wishing to use EclipseLink as the JPA provider in place of Hibernate in the JBoss container.

This article may be somewhat out of date. Information for EclipseLink and JBoss AS 7 can be found here: https://community.jboss.org/wiki/HowToUseEclipseLinkWithAS7

  • The scope of this document is a description of the required static weaving workaround for EJBTHREE-572 using the JBoss JSFEJB3 example as reference. See the JPA Migration page for an overall migration example.
  • The EJB3 example on jboss.org will be used as a common open-source example of how to migrate a small container managed web application from using Hibernate to using EclipeLink as the JPA provider.

persistence.xml Modifications

Note: the defaulted transaction-type attribute of the persistence-unit element.

Original persistence.xml

<persistence>
   <persistence-unit name="helloworld">
      <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
      <jta-data-source>java:/DefaultDS</jta-data-source>
      <properties>
         <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect"/>
         <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop"/>
      </properties>
   </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Modified persistence.xml

<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="1.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" 
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd">
  <persistence-unit name="helloworld">
    <provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>
    <jta-data-source>java:/DefaultDS</jta-data-source>
    <!-- Entities must be specified for EclipseLink weaving -->
    <class>Todo</class>
    <properties>
      <property name="eclipselink.target-database" value="HSQL"/>
      <property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="drop-and-create-tables"/>
      <property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation.output-mode" value="database"/>
      <property name="eclipselink.target-server" value="JBoss"/>
      <property name="eclipselink.weaving" value="false"/>
      <property name="eclipselink.logging.level" value="FINEST"/>
    </properties>
  </persistence-unit>
</persistence>
  • The following changes must be done to persistence.xml

Set target-server

The fix for EJBTHREE-572 requires that the PersistenceUnit state the JBoss platform using the target-server property. We recommend the short name JBoss (but the full package name org.eclipse.persistence.platform.server.jboss.JBossPlatform is supported).

  • See org.eclipse.persistence.config.TargetServer for a list of container platforms supported.
<property name="eclipselink.target-server" value="JBoss"/>

Set target-database

To continue to use the HSQL (Hypersonic) Database all you need to do is define the target-database in the persistence unit, we recommend the short name HSQL (but the full package name org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database.HSQLPlatform is supported).

  • See org.eclipse.persistence.config.TargetDatabase for a list of databases supported.
<property name="eclipselink.target-database" value="HSQL"/>

Drop/Create Database

The tables will be automatically dropped and created by EclipseLink with the following 2 properties in the persistence unit. For production environments you would normally already have the schema setup on the database, so using the following schema generation properties will erase any previous existing tables and are normally used for example/demo purposes. 

<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="drop-and-create-tables"/>
<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation.output-mode" value="database"/>

JTA Datasource Configuration

No changes are required in the deploy directory of JBoss 4.2.2 out of the box to run HSQL.

@EJB Injection/JNDI lookup Modifications

  • The @EJB injection annotation does not currently work outside of the JBoss EJB container - for example in the servlet container. The solution is to use a custom JNDI lookup which is not in standard JNDI naming format such as "java:comp/env/ejb/jsfejb3/TodoDao" - this code is already on the session DAO bean.
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
return (TodoDaoInt) ctx.lookup("jsfejb3/TodoDao/local");

Static Weaving / EAR Packaging Modifications

  • This example does not require weaving - this section is for reference and can be skipped.
  • Dynamic weaving (byte-code instrumentation) is not currently available in JBoss 4.2.2 because of JIRA EJBTHREE-572. Our workaround is to statically weave the entities by running the following Ant task before creating your EJB jar during EAR packaging. You must use the statically weaved classes if you would like to use LAZY 1-1 and many-1 functionality.
  • See 229634: JBoss predeploy workaround
  • Note: that the ant task references persistence.jar, eclipselink.jar and the persistence 1.0 XSD - you may reference these where they exist on your system.
  • Note: persistence.xml must have both the <xml> element declaration and the namespace validation references in the <persistence> element.
  • Ant static weaving ant task
<target name="run-weaver">
  <taskdef name="weave" classname="org.eclipse.persistence.tools.weaving.jpa.StaticWeaveAntTask">
    <classpath>
      <pathelement path="${libs}/persistence.jar"/>
      <pathelement path="${libs}/eclipselink.jar"/>
      <pathelement path="${libs}/persistence_1_0.xsd"/>
    </classpath>
  </taskdef>
 
  <!-- process the weaving function, persistenceInfo references persistence.xml -->
  <weave source="build/classes_unweaved"
    target="build/classes"
    persistenceinfo="build/jars/app_unweaved.jar"
    loglevel="FINEST">
  </weave>
</target>
