[dna-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (DNA-610) Allow JPA Connector to be generic (not require hibernate)

[Brian Carothers (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-610?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12501905#action_12501905 ] 

Brian Carothers commented on DNA-610:
-------------------------------------

I think you bring up a good point here.  I'd love to not have a compile-time dependency on Hibernate for all of the reasons that you just mentioned.  If you could provide an implementation, that would be better still.

Thanks!

> Allowing the use of any JPA provider (not just hibernate) would make it easier to use the JPA connector on other app servers - e.g. glassfish, weblogic, etc.  There is no direct dependency on hibernate's features in the jpa connector, other than using their Ejb3Configurator.  It looks like the config settings could be done in such a way that the persistence.xml could be provided by the bundling application.  Design of it should probably be discussed a bit more thoroughly, and hopefully come up with a way that it can be automatically bootstrapped by the container, instead of the way configuration is done now.
> I'm willing to provide the implementation of this if you'd like.
