Overview
These notes describe the difference between OpenJPA release 1.2.2 and the
preceding release: 1.2.1.
OpenJPA is a feature-rich implementation of the persistence part of Java
Community Process JSR-220 (Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0), which is known as
the Java Persistence API (JPA). OpenJPA can be used as a stand-alone POJO
persistence layer, or it can be integrated into any EJB3.0 compliant
container and many lightweight frameworks. This release of OpenJPA is 100%
compliant with the JPA specification.
