Note:
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g contains Oracle WebLogic Server 11g. The current version number of Oracle WebLogic Server is 10.3.5.Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs)
This section describes the new EJB features for WebLogic Server 10.3.5.
Support for JPA 2.0 Providers
An available patch for WebLogic Server 10.3.5 enables support for TopLink, a Java Persistence Architecture (JPA) 2.0 provider. JPA 2.0 includes improvements and enhancements to domain modeling, object/relational mapping, EntityManager and Query interfaces, and the Java Persistence Query Language (JPQL). It includes a new API for criteria queries, a metamodel API, and support for validation. For the JPA 2.0 Specification, see "JSR-000317 Java Persistence 2.0 (Final Release)" at http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr317/index.html.
To enable JPA 2.0 support, you must download and install a WebLogic Server patch. JPA 2.0 is not supported with the openJPA/Kodo that is shipped with WebLogic Server 10.3.4.
-
Log in to My Oracle Support and download patch 9923849.
-
If using Smart Update, download and apply public patch QWG8.
Note:
Support for JPA 2.0 in WebLogic Server is provided as a patch because JPA 2.0 is part of Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 6. Therefore, enabling JPA 2.0 support in the current release results in WebLogic Server not meeting all Java EE 5 compatibility requirements. To maintain Java EE 5 compatibility in the current release, the files required for the support are not enabled by default, although they are included in a standard WebLogic Server installation.For more information, see "Using JPA 2.0 With TopLink in WebLogic Server" in Programming WebLogic Enterprise JavaBeans, Version 3.0 for Oracle WebLogic Server.
Deprecated Functionality (WebLogic Server 11g Release 1)
