==== Persistence (JPA)
Apache Karaf provides JPA persistence providers (such as Apache OpenJPA) to be easy to use (in a OSGi way) and provide
container managed persistence for applications (using Blueprint).
Apache Karaf embeds Aries JPA, providing a very easy way to develop applications that use JPA persistence.
See the developer guide for details about developing applications that use JPA.
===== Persistence engine features
Apache Karaf provides a set of ready to use persistence engine features:
* Apache OpenJPA. The `openjpa` feature installs the `jpa` feature with the Apache OpenJPA as persistence engine:
----
karaf@root()> feature:install openjpa

* Hibernate. The `hibernate` feature installs the `jpa` feature with the Hibernate persistence engine:
----
karaf@root()> feature:install hibernate
----
