Parleys.com: EJB 3 Persistence

One of the key results of the work on EJB 3.0 has been the introduction of a lightweight POJO persistence model for Java EE. This work on persistence has also been expanded to include use in Java SE environments - i.e. "outside the Java EE container". This talk covers the key aspects of the Java Persistence API, including changes since the publication of the JSR 220 Public Draft. Topics cover include: Brief overview of the developer view of the new POJO persistence model, EntityManager API and entity bean lifecycle, Persistence units and persistence contexts, Detached objects vs extended persistence contexts, Object/Relational Mapping using Java metadata annotations and/or XML and more.
