[forge-dev] JPA setup command question

[Ivan St. Ivanov]

Hi George,

I was thinking of something general in the area of tying up somehow (not
coupling) the JPA containers and providers. The containers know very well
whether they have JPA support at all or, if they have, what is their native
provider (e.g. Hibernate for Wildfly). So IMHO whenever the user specifies
a container with a provider the setup command should do the following:

1) Validate whether this combination is possible at all (e.g. not sure what
will happen if we specify Wildfly with EclipseLink, at the moment it fails)
2) If the current container does not have built-in support for JPA (i.e. it
is based on Tomcat, like SAP HCP) or it supports natively different JPA
provider, then add the listDependencies() content to the pom.xml in the
appropriate scope

Something like this. Not sure though how was this whole thing intended to
work: do we need to fully decouple providers and containers in the JPA
addon?

Cheers,
Ivan
