OpenJPA also includes the

additional utility methods.

Within a container, you will typically use <emphasis>injection</emphasis> to
access an <classname>EntityManagerFactory</classname>. Applications operating
outside of a container, however, can use the
<ulink url="http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/persistence/Persistence.html">
<classname>Persistence</classname></ulink> class to obtain <classname>
EntityManagerFactory</classname> objects in a vendor-neutral fashion.

    <para>
Each <methodname>createEntityManagerFactory</methodname> method searches the
system for an <classname>EntityManagerFactory</classname> definition with the
given name. Use <literal>null</literal> for an unnamed factory. The optional map
contains vendor-specific property settings used to further configure the
factory.
    </para>
    <para>
<filename>persistence.xml</filename> files define <classname>
EntityManagerFactories</classname>. The <methodname>createEntityManagerFactory
</methodname> methods search for <filename>persistence.xml</filename> files
within the <filename>META-INF</filename> directory of any <literal>CLASSPATH
</literal> element. For example, if your <literal>CLASSPATH</literal> contains
the <filename>conf</filename> directory, you could place an <classname>
EntityManagerFactory</classname> definition in <filename>
conf/META-INF/persistence.xml</filename>.

The <methodname>getPersistenceUtil</methodname> method returns a PersistenceUtil
interface that can be used to determine whether an entity or attribute of an
entity is loaded.
