Subject: [eclipselink-users] Getting a database connection withEntityManagerImpl

Hi,

I'm using DbUnit with EclipseLink for unit testing. I sent an email to the DbUnit mailing list wondering if there was a easier way to get a database connection using the information included in a persistence.xml file. Julien Tabouret replied with a hint on the method EntityManager.getDelegate(). His example (see below) uses Hibernate.

With EclipseLink the EntityManager.getDelegate() method returns an org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.EntityManagerImpl object. I can't find any documentation about this class (http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/api/1.0.1/index.html). 

Do you know how I can get a database connection (to give to dbunit) with the EntityManagerImpl object ?

Thanks,
Antonio

Hello,

If you have a persistence.xml file, I assume that you're using an EntityManager. If so, the getDelegate() method could help you since it retrieves the underlying object for the EntityManager.

For example, if your O/R mapping provinder is Hibernate, you will get an org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl. Then the connection() method will gives you the JDBC connection required by dbunit.

Hope it can help.

Hi,

I was wondering if DBUnit has some facilities to integrate a persistence.xml file. In the persistence.xml file file there is already the JDBC Driver, the connection URL to the database, login, pwd... everthing needed to connect to a DB. What I'm doing at the moment is duplicating this information into my code sych as :

protected IDatabaseConnection getConnection() throws Exception {
        Class driverClass = Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver");
        Connection jdbcConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby:myDB.sql;create=true", "APP", "APP");
        return new DatabaseConnection(jdbcConnection);
    }

it would be nice just to have new DatabaseConnection("persistence.xml"). Because the properties change depending on the prodiver, we could also have something like w DatabaseConnection("persistence.xml", ORACLE).

Any ideas ?
