The microBean JPA CDI Extension brings JPA to CDI.

If you are programming in an environment that already has JPA, such as

a Java EE application server, then this extension is not for you.

If you are writing a Java SE program using CDI, then this extension

may very well be for you.

In terms of end-user-observable effects, this extension allows you to

do the following:

```

public class MyCDIBean {

  @PersistenceContext(unitName = "dev")

  private EntityManager em;

}

```

That is, you can inject an `EntityManager` as though your CDI-based

standalone Java SE program were in fact a Java EE application server

(at least with respect to JPA).

This extension jumps through a few hoops to ensure that everything is

done as properly as possible.

Specifically, any `DataSource`s behind the scenes are sourced from CDI

itself as just regular CDI beans.  Additionally, if your CDI

implementation has transactional support, this extension will leverage

it.  Yes, that means your `persistence.xml` can specify transactional

data sources.

This extension is often used in conjunction with the [microBean JPA

Weld SE

Extension](https://github.com/microbean/microbean-jpa-weld-se/), the

[microBean Narayana JTA CDI

Extension](https://github.com/microbean/microbean-narayana-jta-cdi)

project and its [Weld

variant](https://github.com/microbean/microbean-narayana-jta-weld-se),

and the [microBean DataSource CDI HikariCP

Extension](https://microbean.github.io/microbean-datasource-cdi-hikaricp/).
