| to use the module? |
| </question> |
| --> |
| <answer id="arch-usecases"> |
| <p> |
| The entry point to the Java Persistence API is the |
| <code>persistence.xml</code> file, which contains persistence units. |
| Persistence units are logical groupings of entity classes and mapping |
| metadata which specifies the mapping of the entity classes to a database. |
| </p> |
| <usecase id="retrieve-persistence-location" name="Retrieving the default persistence.xml location"> |
| <p> |
| The support for Java Persistence API needs to locate the default location |
| for the <code>persistence.xml</code> file in a project and to |
| trigger the creation of this location if it doesn't exist. This is |
| supported by the <code>PersistenceLocation</code> class. It delegates |
| to the <code>PersistenceLocationProvider</code> interface, which is |
| supposed to be implemented by projects and put in their lookups. |
| </p> |
| </usecase> |
| <usecase id="retrieve-persistence-scope" name="Retrieving the persistence scope for a file"> |
| <p> |
| The entity classes defined by a <code>persistence.xml</code> file can be |
| used by clients, e.g. a servlet or an EJB session bean. It must be possible |
| for such as client to find out if there is a <code>persistence.xml</code> |
| available and the entity classes defined by its persistence units. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| For this the concept of a <em>persistence scope</em> was introduced. A |
| persistence scope is the grouping of a <code>persistence.xml</code> file |
| and a classpath containing entity classes. A persistence scope is described |
| by the <code>PersistenceScope</code> class. The |
| <code>PersistenceScope.getPersistenceScope(FileObject)</code> method can be |
| used to retrieve the persistence scope for a given <code>FileObject</code>. |
| This method delegates to the <code>PersistenceScopeProvider</code>, which |
| must be implemented by projects and put in their lookups. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| A <code>PersistenceScope</code> instance is created by implementing the |
| <code>PersistenceScopeImplementation</code> interface and passing it to the |
| <code>PersistenceScopeFactory.createPersistenceScope()</code> method. |
| </p> |
| </usecase> |
| <usecase id="retrieve-persistence-scopes" name="Retrieving all persistence scopes in a project"> |
| <p> |
| Sometimes it is necessary to retrieve a list of all persistence scopes |
| defined by a project and it must be possible to listen for changes to this |
| list. This is supported by the <code>PersistenceScopes</code> class. The |
| <code>PersistenceScopes.getPersistenceScopes(Project)</code> method can be |
| used to retrieve a <code>PersistenceScopes</code> for a given project. This |
| method delegates to the <code>PersistenceScopesProvider</code>, which mus |
| be implemented by projects and put in their lookups. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The <code>PersistenceScopes.getPersistenceScopes()</code> method can be |
| used to retrieve an array of <code>PersistenceScope</code>'s. There are |
| also methods for adding and removing a <code>PropertyChangeListener</code> |
| for listening on the list of persistence scopes. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| A <code>PersistenceScopes</code> instance is created by implementing the |
| <code>PersistenceScopesImplementation</code> interface and passing it to the |
| <code>PersistenceScopesFactory.createPersistenceScopes()</code> method. |
| </p> |
| </usecase> |
| <usecase id="implement-persistence-scopes" name="Retrieving all persistence scopes in a project"> |
| <p> |
| To help a project implement <code>PersistenceScopesProvider</code> easily |
| the <code>PersistenceScopesHelper</code> class is provided. It supports |
| managing a <code>PersistenceScope</code> and listening to the respective |
| <code>persistence.xml</code> file and sending property change events |
| accordingly. |
| </p> |
| </usecase> |
| <usecase id="implement-persistence-scopes" name="Retrieving all entity classes in a project"> |
| <p> |
| The support for Java Persistence API needs to retrieve the entity classes |
| defined in a project. A project can serve as a class library containing |
| entity classes for other projects which does not contain a |
| <code>persistence.xml</code> itself, thus it doesn't provide any |
| <code>PersistenceScope</code>'s. This is solved by the |
| <code>PersistenceClassPathProvider</code> inteface, which returns a |
| classpath containing entity classes. |

| actions you add to the main menu bar, and to context menus of foreign nodes or components. If |
