JPA Migration

Removed Deprecated Methods

The following deprecated methods have been removed in Play 2.6.

• play.db.jpa.JPA.jpaApi
• play.db.jpa.JPA.em(key)
• play.db.jpa.JPA.bindForAsync(em)
• play.db.jpa.JPA.withTransaction

Please use a JPAApi injected instance as specified in [[Using play.db.jpa.JPAApi|JavaJPA#Using-play.db.jpa.JPAApi]].

Deprecated JPA Class

As of 2.6.1, the play.db.jpa.JPA class has been deprecated, as it uses global state under the hood. The deprecation was mistakenly left out of 2.6.0.

Please use a JPAApi injected instance as specified in [[Using play.db.jpa.JPAApi|JavaJPA#Using-play.db.jpa.JPAApi]].

Added Async Warning

Added the following to [[JavaJPA]]:

Using JPA directly in an Action will limit your ability to use Play asynchronously. Consider arranging your code so that all access to to JPA is wrapped in a custom [[execution context|ThreadPools]], and returns java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage to Play.
