title: How to get JPA configured with Spring 3?
body: <p>I have been reading spring's documentation, but I must say it is a bit confusing, giving several different option on how to configure JPA.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way, and how, to get JPA 2 (with hibernate) configured with spring 3? If you have an example of pom, web.xml, applicationContext.xml, and any needed java code, could you please kindly post it as well. </p>
  
  <p>thanks!</p>
