Q: What are the advantages of the Java Persistence API?
A: The Java Persistence API draws upon the best ideas from persistence technologies such as Hibernate, TopLink, and JDO. Customers now no longer face the choice between incompatible non-standard persistence models for object/relational mapping. In addition, the Java Persistence API is usable both within Java SE environments as well as within Java EE, allowing many more developers to take advantage of a standard persistence API.

Q: Why was the Java Persistence API developed as part of JSR-220 (EJB 3.0)?
A: The Java Persistence API originated as part of the work of the JSR 220 Expert Group to simplify EJB CMP entity beans. It soon became clear to the expert group, however, that a simplification of EJB CMP was not enough, and that what was needed was a POJO persistence framework in line with other O/R mapping technologies available in the industry. Once an Earlier Draft of the EJB 3.0 specification including the Java Persistence API was released, the JSR-220 Expert Group received many requests from the community that this work be made available beyond just the scope of EJB.
Citat:
Q: Why didn't you split off the Java Persistence API work into a separate JSR?
A: We believed that leveraging the work in the context of JSR-220 would minimize risk and deliver a high quality result more quickly. Further, it was important that this API integrate smoothly and consistently with the rest of the simplifications to the EJB 3.0 APIs. It therefore seemed best to extend this ongoing project, and draw additional experts into the JSR-220 group as appropriate as the work expanded.
Citat:
Q: What if I want to use the Java Persistence API outside of the Java EE platform?
A: The specification, RI, and TCK insure that the Java Persistence API works with Java SE as well as with Java EE. Passing the TCK for the Java SE portion allows vendors to be compliant with the Java Persistence API without having a Java EE certification.

Q: How will the Java Persistence API evolve now that JSR 220 has been completed?
A: We expect to spin off the Java Persistence API into its own new JSR for future evolution. This means subsequent versions of the Java Persistence API will not be tied to future EJB JSRs. We expect to continue to draw expertise from a diversity of sources, quite likely including many of the members of the JSR 220 Expert Group who helped define the Java Persistence API.

Q: Will the Java Persistence API become part of Java SE?
A: There are no current plans to include the Java Persistence API in Java SE. As the Java Persistence API evolves, however, it is likely that this issue will be considered by the Java SE expert group in a future Java SE release.
