Yes, the persistence API leverages new capabilities of the Java language as well as usage of annotations enabling mapping configuration directly within the entity classes. Oracle TopLink 10.1.3 offers a JDK 1.4 persistence API that is similar to the specification. For customers wanting to prepare for a smooth migration to JPA but are not yet able to develop or deploy their application within a JDK 5 environment this is an excellent choice. It leverages the existing metadata formats and graphical mapping editors of TopLink while allowing the application code to minimize its coupling.
