Hi Chris, OpenJPA does not include a connection pool, so you'll need to plug in a third party pool like commons-dbcp.
We use commons-dbcp fairly extensively in our unit tests and it can be configured similarly to a direct connection to the database. For example to use derby add these properties to persistence.xml: <property name="openjpa.ConnectionDriverName" value="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"/> <property name="openjpa.ConnectionProperties" value="DriverClassName=org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver,Url=jdbc:derby:target/database/openjpa-test-database;create=true"/> org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource is the datasource, and you specify the rest of the connection information as ConnectionProperties - commons-dbcp will handle the rest. The configuration for DB2 will be pretty similar but you'll need to include a username and password.
