Project overview
The goal is to allow for different classes contained in a single persistence context to be mapped to different databases.
em.persist(new A(..)); em.persist(new B(..)); // insert A into db1; insert B into db2: // the two different data bases possibly from different vendors em.flush();
Concepts
- Currently each persistence unit has a single ServerSession.
- ServerSession typically connected to a single data base.
- Even though ServerSession may use connection pools that connected to different data bases these databases always should share the same database platform.
- That means it's impossible to use ServerSession to map different classes to different types of data bases (say, Oracle and MySQL).
- Even though ServerSession may use connection pools that connected to different data bases these databases always should share the same database platform.
- ServerSession typically connected to a single data base.
- Eclipselink core defines SessionBroker class that aggregates several ServerSessions.
- SessionBroker maps each class to a single ServerSession.
- Each ServerSession connected to a different data base.
- These ServerSessions are not required to share the same database platform.
- Therefore different classes mapped to different data bases, too.
- This feature is going to define persistence unit that has a SessionBroker instead of ServerSession.
- Let's call Container persistence unit (or SessionBroker persistence unit).
Requirements
- SessionBroker persistence unit must be defined in persistence.xml (as any other persistence unit).
- The two main use cases:
- Unify multiple persistence units (with independent from each other object models).
- User starts with several independent persistence units, creates a new SessionBroker persistent unit that aggregates ServerSessions defined in the original persistence units.
- The original persistence units remain unchanged, could still be used individually.
- Unify multiple persistence units (with independent from each other object models).
- Split single persistent unit.
- User starts with a single persistence unit, alters it to become SessionBroker persistence unit.
- Split single persistent unit.
Design Constraints
Design / Functionality
- ServerSessions that are aggregated by a SessionBroker persistence unit are "invisible" outside of it:
- don't have EntityManagerFactories associated with them;
- EntityManagerSetupImpl used for their creation are not kept;
- these sessions are not stored in SessionManager.
