Using the latest Java Persistence API 2.0 features with MySQL

The Java Persistence API is the Java API for the management of persistence for Java EE and Java SE applications. It provides an object/relational mapping facility for the Java application developer using a Java domain model to manage a relational database. The release 2.0 has been expanded to include several key new features.

This session will provide an introduction to the Java Persistence API and then a presentation of some of the new features available in Java Persistence 2.0. The talk will provide an overview of the object-relational mapping and modeling additions, the query language facilities, the new criteria API, pessimistic locking, and support for validation.

Topics to be covered include the following:

• Expanded modeling capabilities and O/R mapping functionality
• How to write queries using the new features with the Java Persistence query language
• The new object-based criteria query API
• Pessimistic locking
• Using the Bean Validation API with Java Persistence

The attendees will learn through several live code samples on how to get started with leveraging these features in Java EE and SE environments using NetBeans and Eclipse IDE.
