[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0 Users] - JPA/EJB3 Entitybean/Hibernate JPA....Confused...

[gohiljigar15]

I am confused with all the three things when it comes to an implementation...
I took the following path...
1) read JPA concepts
2) read EJB3 Concepts
3) developed the sample application with EJB3 & Jboss4.2.3GA....the application runs fine...even if i dont configure the Persistence Provider...
4) read the Hibernate JPA concepts....and got confused...

following is the bunch of questions i am having in my mind...
1)when I am using EJB3 Entities...do i require PP...?
2)if yes...how come my application ran without configuring a Persistence Provider(PP)...?
3) can I develop an application's Persistence layer using only JPA...?
4) when I saw a sample application on Hibernate JPA...It was same as my application except a configuration of Persistence provider as Hibernate...
I mean Entities(POJOs with annotations) were same...both were using javax.persistence.EntityManager for persistence operations....
so where the difference is laying between the application developed using EJB3 Entities & the one developed using Hibernate JPA....????

Thanx in advance...
