Bug 313367

Description Michael OBrien 2010-05-18 10:41:38 EDT

>When users use both the standard javax.persistence and the deprecated eclipselink.jdbc properties
- the deprecated properties take precedence over the standard ones (which are ignored
- this occurs for all of [username, password, driver, url]

>Use Both = javax.persistence ignored (driver is Oracle instead of Derby
properties.put("eclipselink.jdbc.driver", "org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver");  properties.put("javax.persistence.jdbc.driver", "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");

>Fix: either we switch the default to use javax.persistence properties when both exists
>or we warn that both properties exist


>WARNING: The reason this bug is non-trivial is the fact that when the
>deprecated properties are removed and applications start using the javax.persistence properties
>- applications will start failing if the two properties are different


>we log both properties but give the impression that the derby one is used
>we print out the eclipselink.jdbc property as the javax.persistence property
