8.1. JPA Maven Dependencies

8.1.1. JPA API classes




<dependency>

    <groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId>

    <artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.0-api</artifactId>

    <version>1.0.1.Final</version>

    <scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>

8.1.2. JPA Provider classes




<dependency>

    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>

    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>

    <version>4.0.1.Final</version>

    <scope>test</scope>

</dependency>

<dependency>

    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>

    <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>

    <version>1.6.1</version>

    <scope>test</scope>

</dependency>

8.1.3. Database




<dependency>

    <groupId>com.h2database</groupId>

    <artifactId>h2</artifactId>

    <scope>test</scope>

</dependency>

8.2. Supplying Runtime Properties

8.2.1. Turn on Resource Filtering in pom.xml




<build>

    <resources>

        <resource>

            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>

            <filtering>true</filtering>

        </resource>

    </resources>

    <testResources>

        <testResource>

            <directory>src/test/resources</directory>

            <filtering>true</filtering>

        </testResource>

    </testResources>

    ...

</build>

Above will depend on whether you use src/main or src/test for resource file(s)

8.2.2. Use ${variable} References in Resource Files




<properties>

    <!-- standard properties -->

    <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:h2:/home/jenkins/workspace/javaee-class-deploy/jpa/jpa-entitymgr/jpa-entitymgr-docbook/target/h2db/ejava"/>

    <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="org.h2.Driver"/>

    <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="sa"/>

    <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value=""/>



    <!-- hibernate-specific properties -->

    <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect"/>

...

</properties>

8.2.3. Define Property Values in Parent pom.xml




<properties>

      <jdbc.driver>org.h2.Driver</jdbc.driver>

      <jdbc.url>jdbc:h2:/home/jenkins/workspace/javaee-class-deploy/jpa/jpa-entitymgr/jpa-entitymgr-docbook/target/h2db/ejava</jdbc.url>

      <jdbc.user>sa</jdbc.user>

      <jdbc.password/>

      <hibernate.dialect>

          org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect

      </hibernate.dialect>

</properties>

8.2.4. Run with Filtered Values




<properties>

    <!-- standard properties -->

    <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:h2:/home/jcstaff/proj/ejava-javaee/git/jpaDAO/target/h2db/ejava"/>

    <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="org.h2.Driver"/>

    <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="sa"/>

    <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value=""/>



    <!-- hibernate-specific properties -->

    <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect"/>

...

</properties>
