Persistence.xml not processed by Helidon MP-CodePudding

For my Helidon MP application I want to use H2 database with Hibernate, so I made the following configuration:

    <persistence-unit name="h2" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
        <properties>
            <property name="hibernate.archive.autodetection" value="class" />
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect" />
            <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="org.h2.Driver" />
            <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:h2:h2" />
            <property name="hibernate.connection.user" value="sa" />
            <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update" />
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>

but my helidon application does not connect to the database with the following parameters. As far as I see, It simply ignores this config. Although I have added the following dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
    <artifactId>h2</artifactId>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.helidon.integrations.cdi</groupId>
    <artifactId>helidon-integrations-cdi-eclipselink</artifactId>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.helidon.integrations.cdi</groupId>
    <artifactId>helidon-integrations-cdi-jta-weld</artifactId>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.helidon.integrations.cdi</groupId>
    <artifactId>helidon-integrations-cdi-datasource-hikaricp</artifactId>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.helidon.integrations.cdi</groupId>
    <artifactId>helidon-integrations-cdi-jpa</artifactId>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

How can I connect to h2 database with Helidon?

CodePudding user response：

Helidon provides container-managed JPA integration, which means among many, many other things you don't specify JDBC information in your META-INF/persistence.xml file. The entire point of container-managed JPA is that all of this stuff is taken care of for you, so your persistence.xml classpath resource should mention a JTA-enabled data source name that should be used to connect to the database.

Please have a look at this example: https://github.com/helidon-io/helidon/tree/helidon-3.x/examples/integrations/cdi/jpa

You specify the DataSource properties in microprofile-config.properties file:

javax.sql.DataSource.ds1.dataSourceClassName=org.h2.jdbcx.JdbcDataSource
javax.sql.DataSource.ds1.dataSource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1
javax.sql.DataSource.ds1.dataSource.user=db_user
javax.sql.DataSource.ds1.dataSource.password=user_password

Your persistence.xml should look like this:

<persistence xmlns="https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/persistence"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/persistence https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_3_0.xsd"
             version="3.0">

    <persistence-unit name="pu1" transaction-type="JTA">
        <jta-data-source>ds1</jta-data-source>
        <class>com.example.myproject.Pokemon</class>
        <class>com.example.myproject.PokemonType</class>
        <properties>
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect"/>
            <property name="jakarta.persistence.sql-load-script-source" value="META-INF/init_script.sql"/>
            <property name="jakarta.persistence.schema-generation.database.action" value="drop-and-create"/>
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Inject the EntityManager:

    @PersistenceContext(unitName = "pu1")
    private EntityManager entityManager;
