Annotation Type JpaEntityManagerFactory

@Target(value={TYPE,METHOD,FIELD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface JpaEntityManagerFactory

This annotation can be used in three different ways:

• If the persistenceUnit and optionally the configFile attributes are specified, its goal is to specify EntityManagerFactory configuration parameters.
• If these attributes are not specified and the annotation is put on a field of type EntityManagerFactory or a method that takes a single parameter of type EnitityManagerFactory, the EntityManagerFactory for this test object is injected into this field or method.
• If put on a method that takes a single org.springframework.orm.jpa.AbstractEntityManagerFactoryBean parameter, this method becomes a custom configuration method for this EntityManagerFactory. This method will be invoked when creating a new EntityManagerFactory, after having loaded all other configuration on this factory bean.

The configured EntityManagerFactory will connect to the unitils configured test datasource, and will join in unitils test-bound transactions.
