Description

Provide basic integration with JPA 2. The goals are:

• Support for multiple EntityManagers
• Injection of EntityManager into both: components and services
• Provide a way to configure EntityManagers programmatically, not only via persistence.xml
• Create ValueEncoder for entities on-the-fly
• Provide "entity" PersistentFieldStrategy
• Provide "entity" ApplicationStatePersistenceStrategy
• Provide @CommitAfter annotations

We also should consider if a tapestry-orm or similar project is needed in order to reuse common source code.
