    public class EclipseLinkJpaDialect

extends DefaultJpaDialect

`JpaDialect` implementation for Eclipse Persistence Services (EclipseLink). Developed and tested against EclipseLink 1.0 M4.

By default, this class acquires a EclipseLink transaction to get the JDBC Connection early. This allows mixing JDBC and JPA/EclipseLink operations in the same transaction. In some cases, this eager acquisition of a transaction/connection may impact scalability. In that case, set the "lazyDatabaseTransaction" flag to true if you do not require mixing JDBC and JPA operations in the same transaction. Otherwise, use a `LazyConnectionDataSourceProxy` to ensure that the cost of connection acquisition is near zero until code actually needs a JDBC Connection.

This class is very analogous to `TopLinkJpaDialect`, since EclipseLink is effectively the next generation of the TopLink product. Thanks to Mike Keith for the original EclipseLink support prototype!

Constructor Detail

### EclipseLinkJpaDialect

    public EclipseLinkJpaDialect()

Method Detail

### setLazyDatabaseTransaction

    public void setLazyDatabaseTransaction(boolean lazyDatabaseTransaction)

  Set whether to lazily start a database transaction within an EclipseLink transaction.

  By default, database transactions are started early. This allows for reusing the same JDBC Connection throughout an entire transaction, including read operations, and also for exposing EclipseLink transactions to JDBC access code (working on the same DataSource).

  It is only recommended to switch this flag to "true" when no JDBC access code is involved in any of the transactions, and when it is acceptable to perform read operations outside of the transactional JDBC Connection.

    `UnitOfWork.beginEarlyTransaction()`

### beginTransaction

    public Object beginTransaction(javax.persistence.EntityManager entityManager,
                                   TransactionDefinition definition)
                            throws javax.persistence.PersistenceException,
                                   SQLException,
                                   TransactionException

  Description copied from class: `DefaultJpaDialect`
  This implementation invokes the standard JPA `Transaction.begin` method. Throws an InvalidIsolationLevelException if a non-default isolation level is set.

  This implementation does not return any transaction data Object, since there is no state to be kept for a standard JPA transaction. Hence, subclasses do not have to care about the return value (`null`) of this implementation and are free to return their own transaction data Object.

  Specified by:
    `beginTransaction` in interface `JpaDialect`
  Overrides:
    `beginTransaction` in class `DefaultJpaDialect`
  Parameters:
    `entityManager` - the EntityManager to begin a JPA transaction on
    `definition` - the Spring transaction definition that defines semantics
  Returns:
    an arbitrary object that holds transaction data, if any (to be passed into `JpaDialect.cleanupTransaction(java.lang.Object)`). May implement the `SavepointManager` interface.
  Throws:
    `javax.persistence.PersistenceException` - if thrown by JPA methods
    `SQLException` - if thrown by JDBC methods
    `TransactionException` - in case of invalid arguments
  See Also:
    `EntityTransaction.begin()`, `InvalidIsolationLevelException`, `DefaultJpaDialect.cleanupTransaction(java.lang.Object)`

### getJdbcConnection

    public ConnectionHandle getJdbcConnection(javax.persistence.EntityManager em,
                                              boolean readOnly)
                                       throws javax.persistence.PersistenceException,
                                              SQLException

  Description copied from class: `DefaultJpaDialect`
  This implementation always returns `null`, indicating that no JDBC Connection can be provided.

  Specified by:
    `getJdbcConnection` in interface `JpaDialect`
  Overrides:
    `getJdbcConnection` in class `DefaultJpaDialect`
  Parameters:
    `em` - the current JPA EntityManager
    `readOnly` - whether the Connection is only needed for read-only purposes
  Returns:
    a handle for the JDBC Connection, to be passed into `releaseJdbcConnection`, or `null` if no JDBC Connection can be retrieved
  Throws:
    `javax.persistence.PersistenceException` - if thrown by JPA methods
    `SQLException` - if thrown by JDBC methods
  See Also:
    `JpaDialect.releaseJdbcConnection(org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.ConnectionHandle, javax.persistence.EntityManager)`, `ConnectionHandle.getConnection()`, `SimpleConnectionHandle`, `JpaTransactionManager.setDataSource(javax.sql.DataSource)`, `NativeJdbcExtractor`

### getSession

    protected org.eclipse.persistence.sessions.Session getSession(javax.persistence.EntityManager em)

  Get a traditional EclipseLink Session from the given EntityManager.
