    Oracle® TopLink Release Notes Release 12c (12.1.2) E40213-01 June 2013 This chapter describes issues associated with Oracle TopLink. It includes the following topics: ■ Section 1, "TopLink Object-Relational Issues" ■ Section 2, "Oracle Database Extensions with TopLink" ■ Section 3, "Allowing Zero Value Primary Keys" ■ Section 4, "Managed Servers on Sybase with JCA Oracle Database Service" ■ Section 5, "Logging Configuration with EclipseLink Using Container Managed JPA" ■ Section 6, "Documentation Accessibility" 1 TopLink Object-Relational Issues This section contains information on the following issues: ■ Section 1.1, "Cannot set EclipseLink log level in WLS System MBean Browser" ■ Section 1.2, "UnitOfWork.release() not Supported with External Transaction Control" ■ Section 1.3, "Returning Policy for UPDATE with Optimistic Locking" ■ Section 1.4, "JDBC Drivers returning Timestamps as Strings" ■ Section 1.5, "Unit of Work does not add Deleted Objects to Change Set" 1.1 Cannot set EclipseLink log level in WLS System MBean Browser Use Oracle Enterprise Manager to set the EclipseLink log level; do not use the WLS System MBean Browser to complete this action. 1.2 UnitOfWork.release() not Supported with External Transaction Control A unit of work synchronized with a Java Transaction API (JTA) will throw an exception if it is released. If the current transaction requires its changes to not be persisted, the JTA transaction must be rolled back. When in a container-demarcated transaction, call setRollbackOnly() on the EJB/session context: @Stateless public class MySessionBean { @Resource SessionContext sc; public void someMethod() { ... 1 sc.setRollbackOnly(); } } When in a bean-demarcated transaction then you call rollback() on the UserTransaction obtained from the EJB/session context: @Stateless @TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.BEAN) public class MySessionBean implements SomeInterface { @Resource SessionContext sc; public void someMethod() { sc.getUserTransaction().begin(); ..

Language advocacy is a popular pastime with many programmers, but what many fail to realize is that programming languages are like tools: each is good at some things and next to useless at others. Java, inspired as it was by prior art like C and Smalltalk, sports a solid general-purpose syntax that gets the job done with the minimum of fuss in the majority of cases. Unfortunately, there will always be those areas that, by their very nature, demand something a little more specialized.

New VE technologies impose a significant learn­ ing curve to even the most experienced VE developer. The proposed solution relies on synthesis to automate the migration of a VE application to a new unfamiliar VE platform/technology.
