Not speaking for Tom but we wanted a 'better' name for the public PersistenceProvider class that would be referenced by users. Think of it as a simple public wrapper.

Subject: What is the use of oracle.toplink.essentials.PersistenceProvider.class?
Hi Tom,
What is the use of oracle.toplink.essentials.PersistenceProvider.class which is just an empty class as shown below:
package oracle.toplink.essentials;
import oracle.toplink.essentials.ejb.cmp3.EntityManagerFactoryProvider;
/**
* This is the TopLink EJB 3.0 provider
*/
public class PersistenceProvider extends EntityManagerFactoryProvider {
}
We in GlassFish use oracle.toplink.essentials.ejb.cmp3.EntityManagerFactoryProvider as the persistence provider. Is there a potential mismatch here?
Thanks,
Sahoo
