Difference between TopLink and ToPLink Essentials:
TopLink Essentials are the reference implementation (RI) of JPA, is an open source effort that is licensed under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) v1.0. It can be freely downloaded and used under the terms of this license agreement. This means, you can only use it for the management of persistence and orm with Java EE and Java SE. The binary distribution of TopLink consist of 2 jars:

* toplink-essentials-agent.jar: contains Java Persistence API; XML Schemas and TopLink essentials implementation
* toplink-essentials.jar: contains java agent class requires in a standolane Java SE application

In addition to TopLink Essentials that makes the JPA implementation alive, Oracle offers its Oracle TopLink product (10.1.3) that contains an earlier preview binary of JPA and also offers developers additional object-relational capabilities, object-XML mapping (JAXB), non-relational mapping using Java 2.0 Connector Architecture (JCA).

Let's wait other person to answer these questions.
