[eclipselink-users] EclipseLink 2.2 PersistenceProvider osgi registerati

[ahmed.aadel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi All,

I tried to move to EclipseLink 2.2.
In our OSGi environment we track  "javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider"
 implementations and use them depending on our clients choices.  I
can see  EclipseLink 2.2 is no more registering its  j.p.spi.PersistenceProvider
(osgi) implementation.
 I read and understand the move
towards integrating OSGi Enterprise (JPA  Persistence) using Gemini
but we can't use it yet at our production stage, yet we need some new feature
like: CascadeOnDelete.
 So, If EclipseLink 2.2 is no more exposing its PersistenceProvider
implementation but only osgi EMF
and EMF Builder services, is it, then, safe to extend "org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.osgi.PersistenceProvider",
and use it direclty to create  EM
factories? 

Thank you.
