| You can use OpenJPA with any third-party <code class="classname">javax.sql.DataSource |
| </code>. There are multiple ways of telling OpenJPA about a <code class="classname"> |
| DataSource</code>: |
| </p> |
| <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"> |
| <p> |
| <a class="indexterm" name="d5e9577"></a> |
| Set the <code class="classname">DataSource</code> into the map passed to <code class="methodname"> |
| Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory</code> under the |
| <a class="link" href="ref_guide_conf_openjpa.html#openjpa.ConnectionFactory" title="5.10. openjpa.ConnectionFactory"><code class="literal">openjpa.ConnectionFactory |
| </code></a> key. |
| </p> |
| </li><li class="listitem"> |
| <p> |
| <a class="indexterm" name="d5e9585"></a> |
| Bind the <code class="classname">DataSource</code> into JNDI, and then specify its |
| location in the <code class="literal">jta-data-source</code> or |
| <code class="literal">non-jta-data-source</code> element of the |
| <a class="link" href="jpa_overview_persistence.html#jpa_overview_persistence_xml" title="1. persistence.xml">JPA XML format</a> (depending on |
| whether the <code class="classname">DataSource</code> is managed by JTA), or in the |
| <a class="link" href="ref_guide_conf_openjpa.html#openjpa.ConnectionFactoryName" title="5.12. openjpa.ConnectionFactoryName"> |
| <code class="literal">openjpa.ConnectionFactoryName</code></a> property. |
| </p> |
| </li><li class="listitem"> |
| <p> |
| <a class="indexterm" name="d5e9596"></a> |
| Specify the full class name of the <code class="classname">DataSource</code> |
| implementation in the <a class="link" href="ref_guide_conf_openjpa.html#openjpa.ConnectionDriverName" title="5.8. openjpa.ConnectionDriverName"> |
| <code class="literal">openjpa.ConnectionDriverName</code></a> property in place of a JDBC |
| driver. In this configuration OpenJPA will instantiate an instance of the named |
| class via reflection. It will then configure the <code class="classname">DataSource |
| </code> with the properties in the |
| <a class="link" href="ref_guide_conf_openjpa.html#openjpa.ConnectionProperties" title="5.19. openjpa.ConnectionProperties"> |
| <code class="literal">openjpa.ConnectionProperties</code></a> setting. |
| </p> |
| </li></ul></div> |
| <p> |
| The features of OpenJPA's own <code class="classname">DataSource</code> can |
| also be used with third-party implementations. OpenJPA layers on top of the |
| third-party <code class="classname">DataSource</code> to provide the extra |
| functionality. To configure these features use the |
| <a class="link" href="ref_guide_conf_openjpa.html#openjpa.ConnectionFactoryProperties" title="5.15. openjpa.ConnectionFactoryProperties"> |
| <code class="literal">openjpa.ConnectionFactoryProperties</code></a> property described |
| in the previous section. |

| Certain application servers automatically enlist their <code class="classname"> DataSource |
| </code>s in global transactions. When this is the case, OpenJPA should not |
| attempt to commit the underlying connection, leaving JDBC transaction completion |
| to the application server. To notify OpenJPA that your third-party <code class="classname"> |
| DataSource</code> is managed by the application server, use the |
| <code class="literal">jta-data-source</code> element of your <code class="filename"> |
| persistence.xml</code> file or set the |
| <a class="link" href="ref_guide_conf_openjpa.html#openjpa.ConnectionFactoryMode" title="5.14. openjpa.ConnectionFactoryMode"> |
| <code class="literal">openjpa.ConnectionFactoryMode</code></a> property to |
| <code class="literal">managed</code>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Note that OpenJPA can only use managed <code class="classname">DataSource</code>s when |
| it is also integrating with the application server's managed transactions. Also |
| note that all XA <code class="classname">DataSource</code>s are enlisted, and you must |
| set this property when using any XA <code class="classname"> DataSource</code>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| When using a managed <code class="classname">DataSource</code>, you should also |
| configure a second unmanaged <code class="classname">DataSource</code> that OpenJPA can |
| use to perform tasks that are independent of the global transaction. The most |
| common of these tasks is updating the sequence table OpenJPA uses to generate |
| unique primary key values for your datastore identity objects. Configure the |
| second <code class="classname">DataSource</code> using the <code class="literal">non-jta-data-source |
| </code> <code class="filename">persistence.xml</code> element, or OpenJPA's various |
| "2" connection properties, such as <code class="literal">openjpa.ConnectionFactory2Name |
| </code> or <code class="literal">openjpa.Connection2DriverName</code>. These |
| properties are outlined in <a class="xref" href="ref_guide_conf.html" title="Chapter 2. Configuration">Chapter 2, <i> |

| As mentioned above, the JTA and Non-JTA DataSources may be passed in as configuration properties |
| at EntityManagerFactory creation. Either the JPA standard properties ( |
| <code class="literal">javax.persistence.jtaDataSource</code>, <code class="literal">java.persistence.nonJtaDataSource</code>) |
| or their OpenJPA specific equivalents (<code class="literal">openjpa.ConnectionFactoryName</code>, |
| <code class="literal">openjpa.ConnectionFactory2Name</code>) may be used. One use case for this function is to |
| store production connection information in configuration files but override the value when testing. |

| The JPA specification allows the DataSource (ConnectionFactory) to be specified on the |
| EntityManagerFactory. OpenJPA extends this support and allows each EntityManager to override the |
| DataSource from the EntityManagerFactory. It's expected that the EntityManagerFactory will also be |
| configured with a valid JTA / Non-JTA DataSource. The DataSource configured on the |
| EntityManagerFactory will be used to obtain a DBDictionary and (rarely) to gather some information |
| about the database in use (e.g. version, JDBC driver version). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| If the EntityManagerFactory is not configured with a valid DataSource there are |
| a few additional caveats. |

| based on the configuration for the EntityManagerFactory. When a JNDI name is |
| specified on the EntityManager this lookup happens slightly earlier than |
| normal. If the lookup fails the JNDI name provided at EntityManager creation |
| will be set into the EntityManagerFactory's configuration and used in |
| subsequent attempts. </p></li></ul></div><p> |

| In effect this option allows a single set of entity definitions to be shared |
| between multiple database instances or schemas within an instance. This can be |

| If a JTA DataSource is not available when the EntityManager is created, an |
