JPA without persistence.xml

Question

I\'m trying to get started with using Guice Persist and JPA, which recommends using configuration via persistence.xml. Coming from a native Hibernate background where confi

There is no need for persistence.xml if you are using a Spring version higher than 3.1 and you have already defined your entities classes.

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.demoJPA.model" })
@EnableTransactionManagement
public class DemoJPAConfig {

    @Bean
    public DataSource dataSource() throws PropertyVetoException {
        ComboPooledDataSource dataSource = new ComboPooledDataSource();
        dataSource.setDriverClass("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
        dataSource.setJdbcUrl("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/cimto");
        dataSource.setUser("user");
        dataSource.setPassword("pass");

        return dataSource;
    }

    @Bean
    public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory() throws PropertyVetoException {
        LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean em = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
        em.setDataSource(dataSource());
        em.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter());
        em.setPersistenceUnitName("cimtoPU");
        em.setJpaPropertyMap(getJpaProperties());

        return em;
    }

    public Map getJpaProperties() {
    return new HashMap();
    }

    @Bean
    public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager(EntityManagerFactory emf) {
        JpaTransactionManager transactionManager = new JpaTransactionManager();
        transactionManager.setEntityManagerFactory(emf);

        return transactionManager;
    }

    public JpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter() {
        HibernateJpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
        vendorAdapter.setDatabase(Database.MYSQL);
    vendorAdapter.setDatabasePlatform("org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect");
        vendorAdapter.setShowSql(true);

        return vendorAdapter;
    }
}

Note: com.demoJPA.model package must contain your entities classes.
