Re: [eclipselink-users] EclipseLink 2.5 now Available
@Converter(autoApply=true) will allow EclipseLink to apply a particular converter to all Basic mappings to a particular type. If that is what you are looking for, it should just be a matter of implementing the converters themselves, which should be fairly easy, and if it turns out you need some help, this mailing list is a great place to get it. 

EclipseLink works well in non java EE environments, so that should not be an issue.

    Hi Joseph,

        EclipseLink has always had a pretty extensive converter API, JPA 2.1 has
    simply formalized more of it.  It should be reasonably easy to write converters
    for the various joda-time data structures.

        Can you please describe a bit more what you mean by converters
    auto-registering themselves?

Ok, so I understand there is no drop-in library for joda-time converters for
JPA-2.1.
By autoregistering I mean I just have to set the JPA-property
jadira.usertype.autoRegisterUserTypes=true and have the usertype.core.jar in the
classpath and I can use joda-time's classes without doing anything else. This is
due to Hibernate-4.x's integrator-API
http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/4.0/devguide/en-US/html/ch07.html#integrators
I see JPA-2.1 provides a @Converter(autoApply=true) annotation, does this make
the provider, EclipseLink, pick up the converter automatically and use it for
all mappings?
BTW; I'm using Hibernate in a non-JEE container, Tomcat, and am looking for
similar configuration working with EclipseLink.
Thanks.
