### Method Detail

#### getPersistenceUnitName

    java.lang.String getPersistenceUnitName()

Returns the name of the persistence unit. Corresponds to the `name` attribute in the `persistence.xml` file.

Returns:
  the name of the persistence unit

#### getPersistenceProviderClassName

    java.lang.String getPersistenceProviderClassName()

Returns the fully qualified name of the persistence provider implementation class. Corresponds to the `provider` element in the `persistence.xml` file.

Returns:
  the fully qualified name of the persistence provider implementation class

#### getTransactionType

    PersistenceUnitTransactionType getTransactionType()

Returns the transaction type of the entity managers created by the `EntityManagerFactory`. The transaction type corresponds to the `transaction-type` attribute in the `persistence.xml` file.

Returns:
  transaction type of the entity managers created by the EntityManagerFactory

#### getJtaDataSource

    javax.sql.DataSource getJtaDataSource()

Returns the JTA-enabled data source to be used by the persistence provider. The data source corresponds to the `jta-data-source` element in the `persistence.xml` file or is provided at deployment or by the container.

Returns:
  the JTA-enabled data source to be used by the persistence provider

#### getNonJtaDataSource

    javax.sql.DataSource getNonJtaDataSource()

Returns the non-JTA-enabled data source to be used by the persistence provider for accessing data outside a JTA transaction. The data source corresponds to the named `non-jta-data-source` element in the `persistence.xml` file or provided at deployment or by the container.

Returns:
  the non-JTA-enabled data source to be used by the persistence provider for accessing data outside a JTA transaction

#### getMappingFileNames

    java.util.List<java.lang.String> getMappingFileNames()

Returns the list of the names of the mapping files that the persistence provider must load to determine the mappings for the entity classes. The mapping files must be in the standard XML mapping format, be uniquely named and be resource-loadable from the application classpath. Each mapping file name corresponds to a `mapping-file` element in the `persistence.xml` file.

Returns:
  the list of mapping file names that the persistence provider must load to determine the mappings for the entity classes

#### getJarFileUrls

    java.util.List<java.net.URL> getJarFileUrls()

Returns a list of URLs for the jar files or exploded jar file directories that the persistence provider must examine for managed classes of the persistence unit. Each URL corresponds to a `jar-file` element in the `persistence.xml` file. A URL will either be a file: URL referring to a jar file or referring to a directory that contains an exploded jar file, or some other URL from which an InputStream in jar format can be obtained.

Returns:
  a list of URL objects referring to jar files or directories

#### getPersistenceUnitRootUrl

    java.net.URL getPersistenceUnitRootUrl()

Returns the URL for the jar file or directory that is the root of the persistence unit. (If the persistence unit is rooted in the WEB-INF/classes directory, this will be the URL of that directory.) The URL will either be a file: URL referring to a jar file or referring to a directory that contains an exploded jar file, or some other URL from which an InputStream in jar format can be obtained.

Returns:
  a URL referring to a jar file or directory

#### getManagedClassNames

    java.util.List<java.lang.String> getManagedClassNames()

Returns the list of the names of the classes that the persistence provider must add to its set of managed classes. Each name corresponds to a named `class` element in the `persistence.xml` file.

Returns:
  the list of the names of the classes that the persistence provider must add to its set of managed classes

#### excludeUnlistedClasses

    boolean excludeUnlistedClasses()

Returns whether classes in the root of the persistence unit that have not been explicitly listed are to be included in the set of managed classes. This value corresponds to the `exclude-unlisted-classes` element in the `persistence.xml` file.

Returns:
  whether classes in the root of the persistence unit that have not been explicitly listed are to be included in the set of managed classes

#### getSharedCacheMode

    SharedCacheMode getSharedCacheMode()

Returns the specification of how the provider must use a second-level cache for the persistence unit. The result of this method corresponds to the `shared-cache-mode` element in the `persistence.xml` file.

Returns:
  the second-level cache mode that must be used by the provider for the persistence unit
Since:
  Java Persistence 2.0

#### getValidationMode

    ValidationMode getValidationMode()

Returns the validation mode to be used by the persistence provider for the persistence unit. The validation mode corresponds to the `validation-mode` element in the `persistence.xml` file.

Returns:
  the validation mode to be used by the persistence provider for the persistence unit
Since:
  Java Persistence 2.0

#### getProperties

    java.util.Properties getProperties()

Returns a properties object. Each property corresponds to a `property` element in the `persistence.xml` file or to a property set by the container.

Returns:
  Properties object

#### getPersistenceXMLSchemaVersion

    java.lang.String getPersistenceXMLSchemaVersion()

Returns the schema version of the `persistence.xml` file.

Returns:
  persistence.xml schema version
Since:
  Java Persistence 2.0

#### getClassLoader

    java.lang.ClassLoader getClassLoader()

Returns ClassLoader that the provider may use to load any classes, resources, or open URLs.

Returns:
  ClassLoader that the provider may use to load any classes, resources, or open URLs

#### addTransformer

    void addTransformer(ClassTransformer transformer)

Add a transformer supplied by the provider that will be called for every new class definition or class redefinition that gets loaded by the loader returned by the `getClassLoader()` method. The transformer has no effect on the result returned by the `getNewTempClassLoader()` method. Classes are only transformed once within the same classloading scope, regardless of how many persistence units they may be a part of.

Parameters:
  `transformer` - provider-supplied transformer that the container invokes at class-(re)definition time

#### getNewTempClassLoader

    java.lang.ClassLoader getNewTempClassLoader()

Return a new instance of a ClassLoader that the provider may use to temporarily load any classes, resources, or open URLs. The scope and classpath of this loader is exactly the same as that of the loader returned by `getClassLoader()`. None of the classes loaded by this class loader will be visible to application components. The provider may only use this ClassLoader within the scope of the `PersistenceProvider.createContainerEntityManagerFactory(javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceUnitInfo, java.util.Map)` call.

Returns:
  temporary ClassLoader with same visibility as current loader
