By default Spring uses Hibernate as the default JPA vendor. Although Hibernate is a good choice, some of us may prefer to use EclipseLink as it was supposed to be the reference implementation for the Java Persistence JSR.

Jakarta Persistence

Jakarta Persistence defines a standard for management of persistence and object/relational mapping in Java(R) environments.

HikariCP is a very lightweight (at roughly 130Kb) and lightning-fast JDBC connection pooling framework developed by Brett Wooldridge around 2012. It is a default in SpringBoot.

Transaction management

Transaction management refers to the tasks of processing multiple transactions issued by various clients of a database server in such a way that the ACID contract can be fulfilled, that is, the properties of atomicity, consistency preservation, isolation, and durability of each individual transaction can be guaranteed. Transaction management is generally understood as requiring serializability-based concurrency control as well as recovery from failures. Concurrency control is the task of scheduling transactions such that their serializability can be guaranteed, while recovery has to restore a consistent database state after a system or media failure. Assuming that the database server is in charge of the “C,” the former guarantees the “I” in ACID, the latter the “A” and “D” properties. Transaction management has to be highly efficient, as modern transaction servers need to accommodate thousands of transactions...

The Spring Framework provides a consistent abstraction for transaction management. The Spring Framework’s declarative transaction management is made possible with Spring aspect-oriented programming (AOP), although, as the transactional aspects code comes with the Spring Framework distribution and may be used in a boilerplate fashion, AOP concepts do not generally have to be understood to make effective use of this code.

Example how to convert ControlLoopInstantiationProvider class in Spring style using "@Services" and "@Transactional"Example using Transactional

@Service
public class ControlLoopInstantiationProvider {
    private final ControlLoopProvider controlLoopProvider;
    private final CommissioningProvider commissioningProvider;

    /**
     * Create a instantiation provider.
     *
     * @param databaseProviderParameters the parameters for database access
     */
    public ControlLoopInstantiationProvider(ControlLoopProvider controlLoopProvider,
            CommissioningProvider commissioningProvider) {
        this.controlLoopProvider = controlLoopProvider;
        this.commissioningProvider = commissioningProvider;
    }

    @Transactional
    public InstantiationResponse createControlLoops(ControlLoops controlLoops) throws PfModelException {
        for (ControlLoop controlLoop : controlLoops.getControlLoopList()) {
            ControlLoop checkControlLoop = controlLoopProvider.getControlLoop(controlLoop.getKey().asIdentifier());
            if (checkControlLoop != null) {
                throw new PfModelException(Response.Status.BAD_REQUEST,
