This module should help you work with JPA instead of Ebean as your ORM layer. It provides a Finder-like implementation to facilitate working with the database layer.
- Better @Transactional annotations (http://www.jensjaeger.com/2013/11/replace-play-transactional-with-something-better/)
- A generic helper for database related tests with play 2 and JPA (http://www.jensjaeger.com/2013/12/a-ebean-like-finder-for-jpa/)
- A Ebean like finder for JPA (http://www.jensjaeger.com/2013/12/a-ebean-like-finder-for-jpa/)
Currently, you have to compile the code yourself and put it in your local dependency repository.
Follow the steps below to use it in your own application:
- Start up the play console by running
play
on the command line. - Make sure you have the play4jpa project enabled by executing the command
projects
(there should be a * in front of play4jpa). - Compile the project by running
compile
- Publish the project to your local repository:
publishLocal
- In your own project, edit the
Build.scala
file and add"play4jpa" %% "play4jpa" % "0.1-SNAPSHOT"
to your appDependencies (note the first double %) - In your Models, extend the
com.play4jpa.jpa.models.Model
and add acom.play4jpa.jpa.models.Finder
static field (exactly like for Ebean) - For samples see the test cases in the module or the sample application in the repository (the latter one is not yet finished)!
