-= Overview
-
-Vaadin JPAContainer add-on makes it possible to bind user interface components
-to a database easily using the Java Persistence API (JPA). It is an
-implementation of the [interfacename]#Container# interface described in
-<<dummy/../../../framework/datamodel/datamodel-container#datamodel.container,"Collecting
-Items in Containers">>. It supports a typical three-layer application
-architecture with an intermediate __domain model__ between the user interface
-and the data access layer.

-.Three-Layer Architecture Using JPAContainer And JPA

-
-The role of Java Persistence API is to handle persisting the domain model in the
-database. The database is typically a relational database. Vaadin JPAContainer
-binds the user interface components to the domain model and handles database
-access with JPA transparently.
-
-JPA is really just an API definition and has many alternative implementations.
-Vaadin JPAContainer supports especially EclipseLink, which is the reference
-implementation of JPA, and Hibernate. Any other compliant implementation should
-work just as well. The architecture of an application using JPAContainer is
-shown in <<figure.jpacontainer.overview.detailed-architecture>>.

-
-Vaadin JPAContainer also plays together with the Vaadin support for Java Bean
-Validation (JSR 303).

-== Java Persistence API
-
-Java Persistence API (JPA) is an API for object-relational mapping (ORM) of Java
-objects to a relational database. In JPA and entity-relationship modeling in
-general, a Java class is considered an __entity__. Class (or entity) instances
-correspond with a row in a database table and member variables of a class with
-columns. Entities can also have relationships with other entities.
-
-The object-relational mapping is illustrated in
-<<figure.jpacontainer.overview.jpa.orm>> with two entities with a one-to-many
-relationship.
-
-[[figure.jpacontainer.overview.jpa.orm]]
-.Object-Relational Mapping
-image::img/jpa-mapping-graphic-hi.png[]
-
-The entity relationships are declared with metadata. With Vaadin JPAContainer,
-you provide the metadata with annotations in the entity classes. The JPA
-implementation uses reflection to read the annotations and defines a database
-model automatically from the class definitions. Definition of the domain model
-and the annotations are described in
-<<dummy/../../../framework/jpacontainer/jpacontainer-domain-model#jpacontainer.domain-model.annotation,"Persistence
-Metadata">>.
-
-The main interface in JPA is the [interfacename]#EntityManager#, which allows
-making different kinds of queries either with the Java Persistence Query
-Language (JPQL), native SQL, or the Criteria API in JPA 2.0. You can always use
-the interface directly as well, using Vaadin JPAContainer only for binding the
-data to the user interface.
-
-Vaadin JPAContainer supports JPA 2.0 (JSR 317). It is available under the Apache
-License 2.0.
-
-
-[[jpacontainer.overview.concepts]]
-== JPAContainer Concepts
-
-The [classname]#JPAContainer# is an implementation of the Vaadin
-[interfacename]#Container# interface that you can bind to user interface
-components such as [classname]#Table#, [classname]#ComboBox#, etc.
-
-The data access to the persistent entities is handled with a __entity
-provider__, as defined in the [interfacename]#EntityProvider# interface.
-JPAContainer provides a number of different entity providers for different use
-cases and optimizations. The built-in providers are described in
-<<dummy/../../../framework/jpacontainer/jpacontainer-entityprovider#jpacontainer.entityprovider,"Entity
-Providers">>.
-
-[classname]#JPAContainer# is by default __unbuffered__, so that any entity
-property changes are written immediately to the database when you call
-[methodname]#setValue()# for a property, or when a user edits a bound field. A
-container can be set as __buffered__, so that changes are written on calling
-[methodname]#commit()#. Buffering can be done both at item level, such as when
-updating item property values, or at container level, such as when adding or
-deleting items. Only __batchable__ containers, that is, containers with a
-batchable entity provider, can be buffered. Note that buffering is recommended
-for situations where two users could update the same entity simultaneously, and
-when this would be a problem. In an unbuffered container, the entity is
-refreshed before writing an update, so the last write wins and a conflicting
-simultaneous update written before it is lost. A buffered container throws an
-[classname]#OptimisticLockException# when two users edit the same item (an
-unbuffered container never throws it), thereby allowing to handle the situation
-with application logic.
