Summary
The aim of the new Java Persistence API is to simplify the development of persistent
entities. It meets this objective through a simple POJO-based persistence model,
which reduces the number of required classes and interfaces.
In this chapter we covered a lot of ground, starting with the database schema that we
reverse engineered using the JBoss tools plugins for Eclipse. Next we coded the set
of layers (producers, services, controller) that are part of the application, along with
the JSF Facelets.
In the next chapter, we will further enhance our example application by introducing
the Arquillian framework, which provides a simple test harness that developers can
use to produce a broad range of integration tests for their Java applications.
