public Interface PersistenceSettings

Specifies a class implementing jakarta.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider. Naturally, this should always be org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider, which is the best damn persistence provider ever. There's no need to explicitly specify this setting when there are no inferior persistence providers floating about.

See JPA 2 sections 9.4.3 and 8.2.1.4

Specifies the type of transactions supported by the entity managers. The default depends on whether the program is considered to be executing in a Java SE or EE environment:

• For Java SE, the default is RESOURCE_LOCAL.
• For Java EE, the default is JTA.

See JPA 2 sections 9.4.3 and 8.2.1.2

PersistenceUnitInfo#getTransactionType()

Allows JPA callbacks (via jakarta.persistence.PreUpdate and friends) to be completely disabled. Mostly useful to save some memory when they are not used.

JPA callbacks are enabled by default. Set this property to false to disable them.

Experimental and will likely be removed as soon as the memory overhead is resolved.

The type of transactions supported by the entity managers.

See JPA 2 sections 9.4.3 and 8.2.1.2

Specifies the name of the persistence unit.

PersistenceUnitInfo#getPersistenceUnitName()

Specifies an implementation of org.hibernate.boot.archive.scan.spi.Scanner, either:

• an instance of Scanner,
• a Class representing a class that implements Scanner
• the name of a class that implements Scanner.

See Also

org.hibernate.boot.MetadataBuilder#applyScanner

Specifies an org.hibernate.boot.archive.spi.ArchiveDescriptorFactory to use in the scanning process, either:

• an instance of ArchiveDescriptorFactory,
• a Class representing a class that implements ArchiveDescriptorFactory, or
• the name of a class that implements ArchiveDescriptorFactory.

See information on org.hibernate.boot.archive.scan.spi.Scanner about expected constructor forms.

SCANNER, org.hibernate.boot.archive.scan.spi.Scanner, org.hibernate.boot.archive.scan.spi.AbstractScannerImpl, org.hibernate.boot.MetadataBuilder#applyArchiveDescriptorFactory

Identifies a comma-separated list of values indicating the types of things we should auto-detect during scanning. Allowable values include:

• "class" specifies that .class files are discovered as managed classes
• "hbm" specifies that hbm.xml files are discovered as mapping files

org.hibernate.boot.MetadataBuilder#applyScanOptions

Setting used to name the Hibernate org.hibernate.SessionFactory.

Naming the SessionFactory allows for it to be properly serialized across JVMs as long as the same name is used on each JVM.

If SESSION_FACTORY_NAME_IS_JNDI is set to true, this is also the name under which the SessionFactory is bound into JNDI on startup and from which it can be obtained from JNDI.

See Also

SESSION_FACTORY_NAME_IS_JNDI, org.hibernate.internal.SessionFactoryRegistry, org.hibernate.boot.SessionFactoryBuilder#applyName(String)

Does the value defined by SESSION_FACTORY_NAME represent a JNDI namespace into which the org.hibernate.SessionFactory should be bound and made accessible?

Defaults to true for backwards compatibility.

Set this to false if naming a SessionFactory is needed for serialization purposes, but no writable JNDI context exists in the runtime environment or if the user simply does not want JNDI to be used.

See Also

SESSION_FACTORY_NAME, org.hibernate.boot.SessionFactoryBuilder#applyNameAsJndiName(boolean)

Specifies a class which implements org.hibernate.SessionFactoryObserver and has a constructor with no parameters.

org.hibernate.boot.SessionFactoryBuilder#addSessionFactoryObservers(SessionFactoryObserver...)
