OpenJPA defines many configuration properties. Most of these properties are provided for advanced users who wish to customize OpenJPA's behavior; the majority of developers can omit them. The following properties apply to any OpenJPA back-end, though the given descriptions are tailored to OpenJPA's default JDBC store.

Few of the properties recognized by OpenJPA have been standardized in JPA 2.0 Specification using equivalent names. These properties can be specified either by the JPA standard key or equivalent OpenJPA key. Specifying the same key once as JPA standard key and again as equivalent OpenJPA key in the same configuration, however, is not allowed. The following table lists these standard JPA properties and their OpenJPA equivalent.

Description: Whether to dynamically generate customized structs to hold persistent data. Both the OpenJPA data cache and the remote framework rely on data structs to cache and transfer persistent state. With dynamic structs, OpenJPA can customize data storage for each class, eliminating the need to generate primitive wrapper objects. This saves memory and speeds up certain runtime operations. The price is a longer warm-up time for the application - generating and loading custom classes into the JVM takes time.

Default: false

Description: Whether to consider modifications to persistent objects made in the current transaction when evaluating queries. Setting this to true allows OpenJPA to ignore changes and execute the query directly against the datastore. A value of false forces OpenJPA to consider whether the changes in the current transaction affect the query, and if so to either evaluate the query in-memory or flush before running it against the datastore.

5.37. openjpa.Id

Property name: openjpa.Id

If set to unsupported OpenJPA will not create subclasses for unenhanced entity classes and will throw an exception when they are detected. If set to warn OpenJPA will not create subclasses for unenhanced entity classes but will log a warning message.

This function is often useful for rapid prototyping but is not generally recommended for use in production. Please consult the reference guide before changing the default value.

See the reference guide section on unenhanced types for more information Section 2.5, “ Omitting the OpenJPA enhancer ”

Property name: openjpa.DynamicEnhancementAgent

Configuration API: org.apache.openjpa.conf.OpenJPAConfiguration.getDynamicEnhancementAgent

Resource adaptor config property: DynamicEnhancementAgent

Default: true

Description: The DynamicEnhancementAgent property controls whether or not OpenJPA will attempt to dynamically load the PCEnhancer javaagent.

See the reference guide for more information Section 2.4, “ Enhancing Dynamically at Runtime ”

5.64.  openjpa.SavepointManager

Property name: openjpa.SavepointManager

Configuration API: org.apache.openjpa.conf.OpenJPAConfiguration.getSavepointManager

Resource adaptor config-property: SavepointManager

Default: in-mem

Possible values: in-mem, jdbc, oracle

Description: A plugin string (see Section 4, “ Plugin Configuration ”) describing a org.apache.openjpa.kernel.SavepointManager to use for managing transaction savepoints. See Section 4, “ Savepoints ” for details.

5.65.  openjpa.Sequence

Property name: openjpa.Sequence

Configuration API: org.apache.openjpa.conf.OpenJPAConfiguration.getSequence

Resource adaptor config-property: Sequence

Default: table

Description: A plugin string (see Section 4, “ Plugin Configuration ”) describing the org.apache.openjpa.kernel.Seq implementation to use for the system sequence. See Section 6, “ Generators ” for more information.

5.66.  openjpa.Specification

Property name: openjpa.Specification

Configuration API: org.apache.openjpa.conf.OpenJPAConfiguration.getSpecificationInstance

Resource adaptor config-property: Specification

Default: table

Description: A formatted string describing the Specification to use for the default configuration options. The format of the Specifcation string is name [major.[minor]] where name denotes the name of the Specification such as JPA or JDO, major denotes the major integral version number of the Specification and minor denotes a minor version which can be an arbitrary string. See Section 6.20, “Compatibility with Specification” for more information.

5.67.  openjpa.TransactionMode

Property name: openjpa.TransactionMode

Configuration API: org.apache.openjpa.conf.OpenJPAConfiguration.getTransactionMode

Resource adaptor config-property: TransactionMode

Default: local

Possible values: local, managed

Description: The default transaction mode to use. You can override this setting per-session.

5.68.  openjpa.WriteLockLevel

Property name: openjpa.WriteLockLevel

Configuration API: org.apache.openjpa.conf.OpenJPAConfiguration.getWriteLockLevel

Resource adaptor config-property: WriteLockLevel

Default: write

Possible values: none, read, write, optimistic, optimistic-force-increment, pessimistic-read, pessimistic-write, pessimistic-force-increment, numeric values for lock-manager specific lock levels.

Description: The default level at which to lock objects changed during a non-optimistic transaction. Note that for the default JDBC lock manager, read and write lock levels are equivalent. Lock levels pessimistic-read, pessimistic-write and pessimistic-force-increment are in effect only when the mixed lock manager is used.
