Which file does this skill specifically check?

The skill specifically analyzes the persistence.xml file located at src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml.

Why does it flag hardcoded JNDI names as errors?

Hardcoded JNDI names like 'jdbc/coop' make the application environment-dependent. Using environment variables like '${JDBC_DATASOURCE}' allows the same build to run across dev, QA, and production.

Will this skill automatically modify my source code?

No. The skill will report findings and offer to fix them, but it will only apply changes if you provide explicit confirmation.

Can it detect hardcoded paths on both Windows and Linux?

Yes, it scans for common patterns used in both operating systems, such as 'c:/tmp/' and '/home/*/tmp/' in DDL generation settings.

Deployment & DevOps

Validates Java EE persistence.xml files to ensure environment variables are used for JNDI data sources and DDL paths.

The Persistence Configuration Verifier is a specialized utility designed for Java EE developers to audit their persistence.xml files before committing code. It scans for common deployment pitfalls, such as hardcoded JNDI data source names and absolute local file paths for DDL generation, which frequently lead to failures in QA and production environments. By enforcing the use of standardized environment variables like ${JDBC_DATASOURCE}, this skill ensures application portability and smooth CI/CD transitions without requiring manual configuration overrides during deployment.
