        category="Core",
        elementType="appender",
        printObject=true)
public final class JpaAppender
extends AbstractDatabaseAppender<JpaDatabaseManager>

This Appender writes logging events to a relational database using the Java Persistence API. It requires a pre-configured JPA persistence unit and a concrete implementation of the abstract AbstractLogEventWrapperEntity class decorated with JPA annotations.

                                                       String persistenceUnitName)

Factory method for creating a JPA appender within the plugin manager.

Parameters:

name - The name of the appender.

ignore - If "true" (default) exceptions encountered when appending events are logged; otherwise they are propagated to the caller.

filter - The filter, if any, to use.

bufferSize - If an integer greater than 0, this causes the appender to buffer log events and flush whenever the buffer reaches this size.

entityClassName - The fully qualified name of the concrete AbstractLogEventWrapperEntity implementation that has JPA annotations mapping it to a database table.

persistenceUnitName - The name of the JPA persistence unit that should be used for persisting log events.

Returns:

a new JPA appender.
