Table 5-22 Valid Values for composite-unit.member

Value	Description
`true`	The persistence unit must be a member of a composite persistence unit and cannot be used as an independent persistence unit.
`false`	The persistence unit does not have to be a member of a composite persistence unit.

Usage

Setting this property to true indicates that the persistence unit has dependencies on other persistence units.
