Alternative JPA providers like eclipselink? Is eclipselink environment specific?

I'm creating a simple application where i'm going to use object-relational mapping. I heard of eclipselink JPA and did a POC. It seems like working in my local.

I have two question running on my mind.

  1. Is eclipselink tied to the environment? Does the same will work in other environments (production)?
  2. Is there any other provider like eclipselink JPA which gives the same features?
Solution

  • Is eclipselink tied to the environment? Does the same will work in other environments (production)?

    Eclipselink is an implementation (RI) for the specification of the Java API for the management of persistence and object/relational mapping with Java EE and Java SE. This is not tied to any specific environment.

    Is there any other provider like eclipselink JPA which gives the same features?
