An In-Depth Look at OpenJPA

Open JPA is a fully compliant, enterprise grade open-source JPA implementation suitable for production use.

This session will help you to create and deploy OpenJPA-based systems into enterprise environments, and help you better understand some of the advanced features of the JPA specification.
