In this talk attendees will learn how to build their first Java Persistence application. We'll review the JPA basics, such as configuring a persistence unit and JPA mappings, and demo the creation of a JPA application using Dali. We'll take a look at how the Dali tools can simplify the mapping process with mapping validation, entity generation wizards, and a comprehensive, rich UI that supports both annotation and XML mapping file based mappings. As part of the session we'll discuss the difference between writing applications targeted at a full Java EE 5 container and those built to run in a standalone Java SE, OSGi with PDE, or RCP environment and how Dali's integration with the Web Tools Platform supports development for a variety of runtime environments.
