Method Detail

getConfiguration

OpenJPAConfiguration getConfiguration()

Return the configuration for this factory.

getProperties

Properties getProperties()

Return properties describing this runtime.

putUserObject

Object putUserObject(Object key,
                     Object val)

Put the specified key-value pair into the map of user objects.

getUserObject

Object getUserObject(Object key)

Get the value for the specified key from the map of user objects.

newBroker

Broker newBroker()

Return a broker with default settings.

newBroker

Broker newBroker(String user,
                 String pass,
                 boolean managed,
                 int connRetainMode,
                 boolean findExisting)

Return a broker using the given credentials and in the given transaction and connection retain mode, optionally finding existing broker in the global transaction.

addLifecycleListener

void addLifecycleListener(Object listener,
                          Class[] classes)

Register a listener for lifecycle-related events on the specified classes. If the classes are null, all events will be propagated to the listener. The listener will be passed on to all new brokers.

0.3.3

removeLifecycleListener

void removeLifecycleListener(Object listener)

Remove a listener for lifecycle-related events.

Since:

0.3.3

close

void close()

Close the factory.

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

isClosed

boolean isClosed()

Returns true if this broker factory is closed.

lock

void lock()

Synchronizes on an internal lock.

unlock

void unlock()

Release the internal lock.
