Java Persistence API (JPA)
The Java Persistence API is an integral part of the official EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans) 3.0 specification from the Java Community Process. It was introduced as a way of simplifying object-relational mapping—or persisting Java objects to a relational database. JPA borrows heavily from similar open source persistence solutions, incuding Hibernate and JDO. The defining characteristic is the ability to map Plain Old Java Objects (POJO) to the database, using a mechanism called annotations.

Master the New Persistence Paradigm with JPA
In this article you will learn how to persist objects using the Java Persistence API (JPA), customize their mapping with annotations, and create a one-to-one relationship. Using the entity lifecycle you will control persistency and use the query language (JPQL) to query your objects. Read more
