[eclipselink-users] Multi-tenancy using shared tables

[Theodor Richard <theodor.richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I want to convert my current Java EE 6 app to support multi-tenancy. At first, I was gonna do it "manually" by adding a tenant-id into every entity and include it in the every query. But then, I came across EclipseLink's support for multi-tenancy. 

My question: I want to be able to add/remove tenants at runtime. I don't need any tenant-specific customization. Does EclipseLink support this? And how does @Unique behave? Is it restricted to one tenant or does it apply across all tenants? I watched the screencast and read the wiki about Multi-tenancy. It looks like you can only add tenants at deployment time (by changing the persistence XML file)

Thanks,

Theo
