EclipseCon 09: Building your First JPA Application with Dali JPA Tools

In this talk attendees will learn how to build their first Java Persistence application. We'll review the JPA basics, such as configuring a persistence unit and JPA mappings, and demo the creation of a JPA application using Dali. We'll take a look at how the Dali tools can simplify the mapping process with mapping validation, entity generation wizards, and a comprehensive, rich UI that supports both annotation and XML mapping file based mappings. As part of the session we'll discuss the difference between writing applications targeted at a full Java EE 5 container and those built to run in a standalone Java SE, OSGi with PDE, or RCP environment and how Dali's integration with the Web Tools Platform supports development for a variety of runtime environments.
