Access multiple Databases in JPA

According to JPA specification we can define multiple "persistence-unit" elements (i.e. like below) in persistence.xml file and can easily refer them inside Dao layers as this. public class PolarDaoImpl {     @PersistenceContext(unitName="PolarPU")     protected EntityManager entityManager; -- } public class BearDaoImpl {     @PersistenceContext(unitName="BearPU")     protected EntityManager entityManager; -- } Checkout sample persistence.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">     <!-- Database 1 -->     <persistence-unit name="PolarPU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">        ...

Validating CSV Files

Why should I use this ?   You don't have to use this and in fact its easy to write something your own and also checkout its source code for reference.

What is the license clause ?   GNU GPL v2 Are there any JUnit test cases for me checkout ?  Yes,  source How to integrate in my existing project ? Just add the Jar which can be downloaded from here  CsvValidator.jar  and you are good. Instantiate  CsvValidator c onstructor which takes these 3 arguements          // filename is the the file to be validated and here ...
