After reading this http://terrazadearavaca.blogspot.com/2008/12/jpa-implementations-comparison.html blog post , I decided to do some performance(ish) testing on my local system and I also came the conclusion that openJPA isn't the fastest out of the box(I don't think that's a surprise to anyone). It was easy to get something working, but it didn't work as fast as it could/should have. Ease of use is a high priority when a developer is trying out a new technology, but not the only priority.
A steaming pile that is easy to use, is still a steaming pile. :-) In an attempt to make openJPA perform better out of the box, I'd like to see DBCP packaged with openJPA and have the docs updated to stress the use DBCP rather than a direct DB connection. This won't add much in the way of complexity, but it will help the performance greatly. I wrote a blog post about this very topic that can be found http://webspherepersistence.blogspot.com/2009/01/jpa-connection-pooling.html here . Any thoughts? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Improving-out-of-the-box-performance-tp2271261p2271261.html Sent from the OpenJPA Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
