Class Overview

Abstract FactoryBean that creates a local JPA javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory instance within a Spring application context.

Encapsulates the common functionality between the different JPA bootstrap contracts (standalone as well as container).

Implements support for standard JPA configuration as well as Spring's JpaVendorAdapter abstraction, and controls the EntityManagerFactory's lifecycle.

This class also implements the PersistenceExceptionTranslator interface, as autodetected by Spring's PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor, for AOP-based translation of native exceptions to Spring DataAccessExceptions. Hence, the presence of e.g. LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean automatically enables a PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor to translate JPA exceptions.

Fields

protected final Log logger

Logger available to subclasses

public EntityManagerFactory nativeEntityManagerFactory

Raw EntityManagerFactory as returned by the PersistenceProvider

Public Constructors

public AbstractEntityManagerFactoryBean ()

Public Methods

public final void afterPropertiesSet ()

Invoked by a BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties supplied (and satisfied BeanFactoryAware and ApplicationContextAware).

This method allows the bean instance to perform initialization only possible when all bean properties have been set and to throw an exception in the event of misconfiguration.

Throws
PersistenceException

public void destroy ()

Close the EntityManagerFactory on bean factory shutdown.

public ClassLoader getBeanClassLoader ()

Return the ClassLoader that the application's beans are loaded with.

Proxies will be generated in this ClassLoader.

public DataSource getDataSource ()

Return the JDBC DataSource that this EntityManagerFactory obtains its JDBC Connections from.

Returns
  • the JDBC DataSource, or null if not known

public Class<? extends EntityManager> getEntityManagerInterface ()

Return the (potentially vendor-specific) EntityManager interface that this factory's EntityManagers will implement.

A null return value suggests that autodetection is supposed to happen: either based on a target EntityManager instance or simply defaulting to javax.persistence.EntityManager.

public JpaDialect getJpaDialect ()

Return the vendor-specific JpaDialect implementation for this EntityManagerFactory, or null if not known.

public Map<String, Object> getJpaPropertyMap ()

Allow Map access to the JPA properties to be passed to the persistence provider, with the option to add or override specific entries.

Useful for specifying entries directly, for example via "jpaPropertyMap[myKey]".

public JpaVendorAdapter getJpaVendorAdapter ()

Return the JpaVendorAdapter implementation for this EntityManagerFactory, or null if not known.

public EntityManagerFactory getNativeEntityManagerFactory ()

Return the raw underlying EntityManagerFactory.

Returns
  • the unadorned EntityManagerFactory (never null)

public EntityManagerFactory getObject ()

Return the singleton EntityManagerFactory.

Returns
  • an instance of the bean (can be null)

public Class<? extends EntityManagerFactory> getObjectType ()

Return the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known in advance.

This allows one to check for specific types of beans without instantiating objects, for example on autowiring.

In the case of implementations that are creating a singleton object, this method should try to avoid singleton creation as far as possible; it should rather estimate the type in advance. For prototypes, returning a meaningful type here is advisable too.

This method can be called before this FactoryBean has been fully initialized. It must not rely on state created during initialization; of course, it can still use such state if available.

NOTE: Autowiring will simply ignore FactoryBeans that return null here. Therefore it is highly recommended to implement this method properly, using the current state of the FactoryBean.

Returns
  • the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known at the time of the call

public PersistenceProvider getPersistenceProvider ()

Return the underlying PersistenceProvider that the underlying EntityManagerFactory was created with.

Returns
  • the PersistenceProvider used to create this EntityManagerFactory, or null if the standard JPA provider autodetection process was used to configure the EntityManagerFactory

public PersistenceUnitInfo getPersistenceUnitInfo ()

Return the PersistenceUnitInfo used to create this EntityManagerFactory, if the in-container API was used.

Returns
  • the PersistenceUnitInfo used to create this EntityManagerFactory, or null if the in-container contract was not used to configure the EntityManagerFactory

public String getPersistenceUnitName ()

Return the name of the persistence unit used to create this EntityManagerFactory, or null if it is an unnamed default.

If getPersistenceUnitInfo() returns non-null, the result of getPersistenceUnitName() must be equal to the value returned by PersistenceUnitInfo.getPersistenceUnitName().

public boolean isSingleton ()

Is the object managed by this factory a singleton? That is, will getObject() always return the same object (a reference that can be cached)?

NOTE: If a FactoryBean indicates to hold a singleton object, the object returned from getObject() might get cached by the owning BeanFactory. Hence, do not return true unless the FactoryBean always exposes the same reference.

The singleton status of the FactoryBean itself will generally be provided by the owning BeanFactory; usually, it has to be defined as singleton there.

NOTE: This method returning false does not necessarily indicate that returned objects are independent instances. An implementation of the extended SmartFactoryBean interface may explicitly indicate independent instances through its isPrototype() method. Plain FactoryBean implementations which do not implement this extended interface are simply assumed to always return independent instances if the isSingleton() implementation returns false.

Returns
  • whether the exposed object is a singleton

public void setBeanClassLoader (ClassLoader classLoader)

Callback that supplies the bean class loader to a bean instance.

Invoked after the population of normal bean properties but before an initialization callback such as InitializingBean's afterPropertiesSet() method or a custom init-method.

Parameters
classLoader the owning class loader; may be null in which case a default ClassLoader must be used, for example the ClassLoader obtained via getDefaultClassLoader()

public void setBeanFactory (BeanFactory beanFactory)

Callback that supplies the owning factory to a bean instance.

Invoked after the population of normal bean properties but before an initialization callback such as afterPropertiesSet() or a custom init-method.

Parameters
beanFactory owning BeanFactory (never null). The bean can immediately call methods on the factory.

public void setBeanName (String name)

Set the name of the bean in the bean factory that created this bean.

Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback such as afterPropertiesSet() or a custom init-method.

Parameters
name the name of the bean in the factory. Note that this name is the actual bean name used in the factory, which may differ from the originally specified name: in particular for inner bean names, the actual bean name might have been made unique through appending "#..." suffixes. Use the BeanFactoryUtils#originalBeanName(String) method to extract the original bean name (without suffix), if desired.

public void setEntityManagerFactoryInterface (Class<? extends EntityManagerFactory> emfInterface)

Specify the (potentially vendor-specific) EntityManagerFactory interface that this EntityManagerFactory proxy is supposed to implement.

The default will be taken from the specific JpaVendorAdapter, if any, or set to the standard javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory interface else.

See Also

public void setEntityManagerInterface (Class<? extends EntityManager> emInterface)

Specify the (potentially vendor-specific) EntityManager interface that this factory's EntityManagers are supposed to implement.

The default will be taken from the specific JpaVendorAdapter, if any, or set to the standard javax.persistence.EntityManager interface else.

See Also

public void setJpaDialect (JpaDialect jpaDialect)

Specify the vendor-specific JpaDialect implementation to associate with this EntityManagerFactory. This will be exposed through the EntityManagerFactoryInfo interface, to be picked up as default dialect by accessors that intend to use JpaDialect functionality.

See Also

public void setJpaProperties (Properties jpaProperties)

Specify JPA properties, to be passed into Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory (if any).

Can be populated with a String "value" (parsed via PropertiesEditor) or a "props" element in XML bean definitions.

See Also
  • javax.persistence.Persistence#createEntityManagerFactory(String, java.util.Map)
  • javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider#createContainerEntityManagerFactory(javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceUnitInfo, java.util.Map)

public void setJpaPropertyMap (Map<String, ?> jpaProperties)

Specify JPA properties as a Map, to be passed into Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory (if any).

See Also
  • javax.persistence.Persistence#createEntityManagerFactory(String, java.util.Map)
  • javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider#createContainerEntityManagerFactory(javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceUnitInfo, java.util.Map)

public void setJpaVendorAdapter (JpaVendorAdapter jpaVendorAdapter)

Specify the JpaVendorAdapter implementation for the desired JPA provider, if any. This will initialize appropriate defaults for the given provider, such as persistence provider class and JpaDialect, unless locally overridden in this FactoryBean.

public void setPersistenceProvider (PersistenceProvider persistenceProvider)

Set the PersistenceProvider instance to use for creating the EntityManagerFactory. If not specified, the persistence provider will be taken from the JpaVendorAdapter (if any) or determined by the persistence unit deployment descriptor (as far as possible).

See Also

public void setPersistenceProviderClass (Class<? extends PersistenceProvider> persistenceProviderClass)

Set the PersistenceProvider implementation class to use for creating the EntityManagerFactory. If not specified, the persistence provider will be taken from the JpaVendorAdapter (if any) or retrieved through scanning (as far as possible).

See Also

public void setPersistenceUnitName (String persistenceUnitName)

Specify the name of the EntityManagerFactory configuration.

Default is none, indicating the default EntityManagerFactory configuration. The persistence provider will throw an exception if ambiguous EntityManager configurations are found.

See Also
  • javax.persistence.Persistence#createEntityManagerFactory(String)

public DataAccessException translateExceptionIfPossible (RuntimeException ex)

Implementation of the PersistenceExceptionTranslator interface, as autodetected by Spring's PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor.

Uses the dialect's conversion if possible; otherwise falls back to standard JPA exception conversion.

Parameters
ex a RuntimeException thrown
Returns
  • the corresponding DataAccessException (or null if the exception could not be translated, as in this case it may result from user code rather than an actual persistence problem)
