The resource name of the sessions XML file. If you do not specify the value for this property, it will not be used. |
Usage
You can use the eclipselink.sessions-xml property as an alternative to using annotations and deployment XML. With this property, EclipseLink builds an in-memory EclipseLink session and project based on this metadata (as shown in Figure 5-1). You can acquire a persistence manager and use it, having defined all entities and so on using only EclipseLink sessions.xml.
