What are the supported versions of JPA does EclipseLink 2.5 support

I am trying to use EclipseLink 2.5 in my GlassFish 3.1.2.2 but it seems that its not working properly.

So What are the supported versions of JPA does EclipseLink 2.5 support ? I am restricted to use JPA 2.0 till the moment.

Solution

  • EclipseLink 2.5 is implementation of JPA 2.1 specification. Because JPA 2.1 (what's new) is more or less superset of JPA 2.0, it is possible to use EclipseLink 2.5 and limit usage to features available in JPA 2.0.

    GlassFish 3.1.2.2 was shipped with EclipseLink 2.3.2 (which is implementation of JPA 2 specification), so it is rather easy try is EclipseLink version source of problems. Likely not - but new bugs are of course always possible. Also then issue is not directly connected to supported JPA specification version.
