7.6.1.5 Configure WebSphere Application Server Persistence to JPA Specification 2.0

The persistence configuration information in this section sets JPA 2.0 specification in WebSphere over the default JPA 2.1 specification.

2. Log in with your administrator user ID and password.
3. From the LHS menu, click Servers to expand the menu.
4. Click Server Types to expand the menu further and then click WebSphere Enterprise Application Servers to view the Application servers window.
5. On the Application servers window, click the required Application Server link.
6. Click Container Services and then click Default Java Persistence API settings to display the Configuration window:
