If you are using standard features of JPA (nothing fancy-vendor specific), than the changes in persistence.xml and pom.xml from say Hibernate to OpenJpa to EclipseLink are rather trivial. If you ARE using some vendor extensions, then you would probably have to alter the entities and DAOs as well. tcrisera wrote > I had the impression that the persistence.xml was used at build time from > this statement in the 2.2 pdf documentation.

For sure it is much easier to have persistence.xml and static enhancing in the same project. -- View this message in context: http://openjpa.208410.n2.nabble.com/Build-time-Enhancement-Maven-dependencies-persistence-xml-tp7581599p7581643.html Sent from the OpenJPA Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
