  - getMappingFileNames
```
List<String> getMappingFileNames()
```
    Returns the list of the names of the mapping files that the persistence provider must load to determine the mappings for the entity classes. The mapping files must be in the standard XML mapping format, be uniquely named and be resource-loadable from the application classpath. Each mapping file name corresponds to a mapping-file element in the persistence.xml file.
    
    Returns:
    
    the list of mapping file names that the persistence provider must load to determine the mappings for the entity classes
  - getJarFileUrls
```
List<URL> getJarFileUrls()
```
    Returns a list of URLs for the jar files or exploded jar file directories that the persistence provider must examine for managed classes of the persistence unit. Each URL corresponds to a jar-file element in the persistence.xml file. A URL will either be a file: URL referring to a jar file or referring to a directory that contains an exploded jar file, or some other URL from which an InputStream in jar format can be obtained.
    
    Returns:
    
    a list of URL objects referring to jar files or directories
  - getPersistenceUnitRootUrl
```
URL getPersistenceUnitRootUrl()
```
    Returns the URL for the jar file or directory that is the root of the persistence unit. (If the persistence unit is rooted in the WEB-INF/classes directory, this will be the URL of that directory.) The URL will either be a file: URL referring to a jar file or referring to a directory that contains an exploded jar file, or some other URL from which an InputStream in jar format can be obtained.
    
    Returns:
    
    a URL referring to a jar file or directory
  - getManagedClassNames
```
List<String> getManagedClassNames()
```
    Returns the list of the names of the classes that the persistence provider must add to its set of managed classes. Each name corresponds to a named class element in the persistence.xml file.

    the list of the names of the classes that the persistence provider must add to its set of managed classes
  - excludeUnlistedClasses
```
boolean excludeUnlistedClasses()
```
    Returns whether classes in the root of the persistence unit that have not been explicitly listed are to be included in the set of managed classes. This value corresponds to the exclude-unlisted-classes element in the persistence.xml file.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether classes in the root of the persistence unit that have not been explicitly listed are to be included in the set of managed classes
  - getSharedCacheMode
```
SharedCacheMode getSharedCacheMode()
```
    Returns the specification of how the provider must use a second-level cache for the persistence unit. The result of this method corresponds to the shared-cache-mode element in the persistence.xml file.
    
    Returns:
    
    the second-level cache mode that must be used by the provider for the persistence unit
    
    Since:
    
    Java Persistence 2.0
  - getValidationMode
```
ValidationMode getValidationMode()
```
    Returns the validation mode to be used by the persistence provider for the persistence unit. The validation mode corresponds to the validation-mode element in the persistence.xml file.
    
    Returns:
    
    the validation mode to be used by the persistence provider for the persistence unit
    
    Since:
    
    Java Persistence 2.0
  - getProperties
```
Properties getProperties()
```
    Returns a properties object. Each property corresponds to a property element in the persistence.xml file or to a property set by the container.
    
    Returns:
    
    Properties object
  - getPersistenceXMLSchemaVersion
```
String getPersistenceXMLSchemaVersion()
```
    Returns the schema version of the persistence.xml file.
    
    Returns:
    
    persistence.xml schema version

  - getClassLoader
```
ClassLoader getClassLoader()
```
    Returns ClassLoader that the provider may use to load any classes, resources, or open URLs.
    
    Returns:
    
    ClassLoader that the provider may use to load any classes, resources, or open URLs
  - addTransformer
```
void addTransformer(ClassTransformer transformer)
```
    Add a transformer supplied by the provider that will be called for every new class definition or class redefinition that gets loaded by the loader returned by the getClassLoader() method. The transformer has no effect on the result returned by the getNewTempClassLoader() method. Classes are only transformed once within the same classloading scope, regardless of how many persistence units they may be a part of.
    
    Parameters:
    
    transformer - provider-supplied transformer that the container invokes at class-(re)definition time
  - getNewTempClassLoader
```
ClassLoader getNewTempClassLoader()
```
    Return a new instance of a ClassLoader that the provider may use to temporarily load any classes, resources, or open URLs. The scope and classpath of this loader is exactly the same as that of the loader returned by getClassLoader(). None of the classes loaded by this class loader will be visible to application components. The provider may only use this ClassLoader within the scope of the PersistenceProvider.createContainerEntityManagerFactory(javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceUnitInfo, java.util.Map) call.
    
    Returns:
    
    temporary ClassLoader with same visibility as current loader
