Just a guess but
private static void closedownDataPersistence() {
em.close();
emf.close();
}
implies to me that both em and emf consume system resources and require
separately closing to release those resources when you are finished with
them.
em =
Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("JavaApplication12PU").createEntityManager();
might leave an unclosed 'thing' consuming resources.
What is the status of the EntityManagerFactory when you return from your
chained expression above? you certainly must create one but when you
return you have no reference to the factory so can't close it. It won't
be collected as, if it still has a handle on some system resource it
won't be null. So you are left with a zombie Object consuming resources
with no way to reclaim it.
Also, long chains of method calls are harder to read so it's good
practice to unchain them. Chaining isn't particularly clever although as
they become more adept at the language all Java developers seem to do it
to some extent or other.
Like I say, just a guess.
