I don't know how to do this, but (currently nonexistent) article JPA could link to here.

Why is JPOX on here? It is not a JPA service provider - is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kbines (talk • contribs) 20:27, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Its better not to mumble to yourself...

The point of an encyclopedia is to explain some knowledge to others. This paragraph below is so chalked full of jargon that you could be mistaken for a street person talking to yourself. >>> Motivation for creating Java Persistence API

Many enterprise Java developers have been using lightweight persistent objects provided by open-source frameworks or Data Access Objects instead of entity beans because entity beans and enterprise beans were considered too heavyweight and complicated, and they could only be used in Java EE application servers. Many of the features of the third-party persistence frameworks were incorporated into the Java Persistence API, and projects like Hibernate and TopLink are now implementations of the Java Persistence API.

Please explain JPOX to others if you believe "It is not a JPA service provider " —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.37.245.21 (talk) 16:52, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Removed @PersistenceContext section

Aside from the fact that it was way too instructional and detailed for an encyclopedic article, the @PersistenceContext section was mostly cut-and-pasted from the book "Mastering Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0" (Sriganesh, Brose, and Silverman, Wiley Publishing, Inc, page 140 or so), so I removed it. Feel free to restore it if you can rewrite it in a non-copyright-infringement (and more readable) manner. Rharner (talk) 13:58, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

JPA annotation example?

Should there be some example of an entity with metadata with JPA annotations? Touko vk (talk) 11:37, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

JPA 2

EclipseLink 2.0+ and Hibernate 3.5+ already support JPA 2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.185.112.226 (talk) 20:00, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

A specification or a framework?

If JPA is, as I believe, a specification, we need to change the first phrase of the article. --Vitalij zad (talk) 15:40, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
