## org.springframework.orm.jpa
Class LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.orm.jpa.AbstractEntityManagerFactoryBean
          org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean

All Implemented Interfaces:
  BeanClassLoaderAware, DisposableBean, FactoryBean, InitializingBean, ResourceLoaderAware, LoadTimeWeaverAware, PersistenceExceptionTranslator, EntityManagerFactoryInfo

    public class LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean

extends AbstractEntityManagerFactoryBean
implements ResourceLoaderAware, LoadTimeWeaverAware

`FactoryBean` that creates a JPA `EntityManagerFactory` according to JPA's standard container bootstrap contract. This is the most powerful way to set up a shared JPA EntityManagerFactory in a Spring application context; the EntityManagerFactory can then be passed to JPA-based DAOs via dependency injection. Note that switching to a JNDI lookup or to a `LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean` definition is just a matter of configuration!

As with `LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean`, configuration settings are usually read in from a `META-INF/persistence.xml` config file, residing in the class path, according to the general JPA configuration contract. However, this FactoryBean is more flexible in that you can override the location of the `persistence.xml` file, specify the JDBC DataSources to link to, etc. Furthermore, it allows for pluggable class instrumentation through Spring's `LoadTimeWeaver` abstraction, instead of being tied to a special VM agent specified on JVM startup.

Internally, this FactoryBean parses the `persistence.xml` file itself and creates a corresponding `PersistenceUnitInfo` object (with further configuration merged in, such as JDBC DataSources and the Spring LoadTimeWeaver), to be passed to the chosen JPA `PersistenceProvider`. This corresponds to a local JPA container with full support for the standard JPA container contract.

The exposed EntityManagerFactory object will implement all the interfaces of the underlying native EntityManagerFactory returned by the PersistenceProvider, plus the `EntityManagerFactoryInfo` interface which exposes additional metadata as assembled by this FactoryBean.

Constructor Detail

### LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean

    public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean()

Method Detail

### setPersistenceUnitManager

    public void setPersistenceUnitManager(PersistenceUnitManager persistenceUnitManager)

  Set the PersistenceUnitManager to use for obtaining the JPA persistence unit that this FactoryBean is supposed to build an EntityManagerFactory for.

  The default is to rely on the local settings specified on this FactoryBean, such as "persistenceXmlLocation", "dataSource" and "loadTimeWeaver".

  For reuse of existing persistence unit configuration or more advanced forms of custom persistence unit handling, consider defining a separate PersistenceUnitManager bean (typically a DefaultPersistenceUnitManager instance) and linking it in here. `persistence.xml` location, DataSource configuration and LoadTimeWeaver will be defined on that separate DefaultPersistenceUnitManager bean in such a scenario.

  See Also:
    `setPersistenceXmlLocation(java.lang.String)`, `setDataSource(javax.sql.DataSource)`, `setLoadTimeWeaver(org.springframework.instrument.classloading.LoadTimeWeaver)`, `DefaultPersistenceUnitManager`

### setPersistenceXmlLocation

    public void setPersistenceXmlLocation(String persistenceXmlLocation)

  Set the location of the `persistence.xml` file we want to use. This is a Spring resource location.

  Default is "classpath:META-INF/persistence.xml".

  NOTE: Only applied if no external PersistenceUnitManager specified.

  Parameters:
    `persistenceXmlLocation` - a Spring resource String identifying the location of the `persistence.xml` file that this LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean should parse
  See Also:
    `setPersistenceUnitManager(org.springframework.orm.jpa.persistenceunit.PersistenceUnitManager)`

### setDataSource

    public void setDataSource(DataSource dataSource)

  Specify the JDBC DataSource that the JPA persistence provider is supposed to use for accessing the database. This is an alternative to keeping the JDBC configuration in `persistence.xml`, passing in a Spring-managed DataSource instead.

  In JPA speak, a DataSource passed in here will be used as "nonJtaDataSource" on the PersistenceUnitInfo passed to the PersistenceProvider, overriding data source configuration in `persistence.xml` (if any).

  NOTE: Only applied if no external PersistenceUnitManager specified.

  See Also:
    `PersistenceUnitInfo.getNonJtaDataSource()`, `setPersistenceUnitManager(org.springframework.orm.jpa.persistenceunit.PersistenceUnitManager)`

### setPersistenceUnitPostProcessors

    public void setPersistenceUnitPostProcessors(PersistenceUnitPostProcessor[] postProcessors)

  Set the PersistenceUnitPostProcessors to be applied to the PersistenceUnitInfo used for creating this EntityManagerFactory.

  Such post-processors can, for example, register further entity classes and jar files, in addition to the metadata read in from `persistence.xml`.

  NOTE: Only applied if no external PersistenceUnitManager specified.

  See Also:
    `setPersistenceUnitManager(org.springframework.orm.jpa.persistenceunit.PersistenceUnitManager)`

### setLoadTimeWeaver

    public void setLoadTimeWeaver(LoadTimeWeaver loadTimeWeaver)

  Specify the Spring LoadTimeWeaver to use for class instrumentation according to the JPA class transformer contract.

  It is a not required to specify a LoadTimeWeaver: Most providers will be able to provide a subset of their functionality without class instrumentation as well, or operate with their VM agent specified on JVM startup.

  In terms of Spring-provided weaving options, the most important ones are InstrumentationLoadTimeWeaver, which requires a Spring-specific (but very general) VM agent specified on JVM startup, and ReflectiveLoadTimeWeaver, which interacts with an underlying ClassLoader based on specific extended methods being available on it (for example, interacting with Spring's TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader).

  NOTE: As of Spring 2.5, the context's default LoadTimeWeaver (defined as bean with name "loadTimeWeaver") will be picked up automatically, if available, removing the need for LoadTimeWeaver configuration on each affected target bean. Consider using the `context:load-time-weaver` XML tag for creating such a shared LoadTimeWeaver (autodetecting the environment by default).

  NOTE: Only applied if no external PersistenceUnitManager specified. Otherwise, the external `PersistenceUnitManager` is responsible for the weaving configuration.

  Specified by:
    `setLoadTimeWeaver` in interface `LoadTimeWeaverAware`
  Parameters:
    `loadTimeWeaver` - the `LoadTimeWeaver` instance (never `null`)
  See Also:
    `InstrumentationLoadTimeWeaver`, `ReflectiveLoadTimeWeaver`, `TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader`

### setResourceLoader

    public void setResourceLoader(ResourceLoader resourceLoader)

  Description copied from interface: `ResourceLoaderAware`
  Set the ResourceLoader that this object runs in.

  This might be a ResourcePatternResolver, which can be checked through `instanceof ResourcePatternResolver`. See also the `ResourcePatternUtils.getResourcePatternResolver` method.

  Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback like InitializingBean's `afterPropertiesSet` or a custom init-method. Invoked before ApplicationContextAware's `setApplicationContext`.

  Specified by:
    `setResourceLoader` in interface `ResourceLoaderAware`
  Parameters:
    `resourceLoader` - ResourceLoader object to be used by this object
  See Also:
    `ResourcePatternResolver`, `ResourcePatternUtils.getResourcePatternResolver(org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader)`

### createNativeEntityManagerFactory

    protected javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory createNativeEntityManagerFactory()
                                                                               throws javax.persistence.PersistenceException

  Description copied from class: `AbstractEntityManagerFactoryBean`
  Subclasses must implement this method to create the EntityManagerFactory that will be returned by the `getObject()` method.

  Specified by:
    `createNativeEntityManagerFactory` in class `AbstractEntityManagerFactoryBean`
  Returns:
    EntityManagerFactory instance returned by this FactoryBean
  Throws:
    `javax.persistence.PersistenceException` - if the EntityManager cannot be created

### determinePersistenceUnitInfo

    protected javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceUnitInfo determinePersistenceUnitInfo(PersistenceUnitManager persistenceUnitManager)

  Determine the PersistenceUnitInfo to use for the EntityManagerFactory created by this bean.

  The default implementation reads in all persistence unit infos from `persistence.xml`, as defined in the JPA specification. If no entity manager name was specified, it takes the first info in the array as returned by the reader. Otherwise, it checks for a matching name.

  Parameters:
    `persistenceUnitManager` - the PersistenceUnitManager to obtain from
  Returns:
    the chosen PersistenceUnitInfo

### postProcessEntityManagerFactory

    protected void postProcessEntityManagerFactory(javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory emf,
                                                   javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceUnitInfo pui)

  Hook method allowing subclasses to customize the EntityManagerFactory after its creation via the PersistenceProvider.

  The default implementation is empty.

  Parameters:
    `emf` - the newly created EntityManagerFactory we are working with
    `pui` - the PersistenceUnitInfo used to configure the EntityManagerFactory
  See Also:
    `PersistenceProvider.createContainerEntityManagerFactory(javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceUnitInfo, java.util.Map)`

### getPersistenceUnitInfo

    public javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceUnitInfo getPersistenceUnitInfo()

  Description copied from interface: `EntityManagerFactoryInfo`
  Return the PersistenceUnitInfo used to create this EntityManagerFactory, if the in-container API was used.

  Specified by:
    `getPersistenceUnitInfo` in interface `EntityManagerFactoryInfo`
  Overrides:
    `getPersistenceUnitInfo` in class `AbstractEntityManagerFactoryBean`
  Returns:
    the PersistenceUnitInfo used to create this EntityManagerFactory, or `null` if the in-container contract was not used to configure the EntityManagerFactory

### getPersistenceUnitName

    public String getPersistenceUnitName()

  Description copied from interface: `EntityManagerFactoryInfo`
  Return the name of the persistence unit used to create this EntityManagerFactory, or `null` if it is an unnamed default. If `getPersistenceUnitInfo()` returns non-null, the return type of `getPersistenceUnitName()` must be equal to the value returned by `PersistenceUnitInfo.getPersistenceUnitName()`.

  Specified by:
    `getPersistenceUnitName` in interface `EntityManagerFactoryInfo`
  Overrides:
    `getPersistenceUnitName` in class `AbstractEntityManagerFactoryBean`
  See Also:
    `EntityManagerFactoryInfo.getPersistenceUnitInfo()`, `PersistenceUnitInfo.getPersistenceUnitName()`
