A2A Java SDK - JPA Database PushNotificationConfigStore
May 13, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
This module provides a JPA-based implementation of the PushNotificationConfigStore interface that persists push notification configurations to a relational database instead of keeping them in memory.
The persistence is done with the Jakarta Persistence API, so this should be suitable for any JPA 3.0+ provider and Jakarta EE application server.
NOTE:
The
PushNotificationConfiginstances stored in the JPA DatabasePushNotificationConfigStoreare simply serialized to JSON before storing in the database, and serialized from JSON when loading from the database. This is done according to the current A2A specification version's format ofPushNotificationConfig.Future versions of the specification might use a different format. This is not intended to be a long-term store; its usage is meant to be for the lifetime of the associated
Taskin order to have access to thePushNotificationConfigwhen running in a load-balanced environment.If you wish to keep the
PushNotificationConfiginstances stored between protocol versions, you might have to implement some migration of the stored data.
Quick Start
1. Add Dependency
Add this module to your project's pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.a2aproject.sdk</groupId>
<artifactId>a2a-java-extras-push-notification-config-store-database-jpa</artifactId>
<version>${a2a.version}</version>
</dependency>
The JpaDatabasePushNotificationConfigStore is annotated in such a way that it should take precedence over the default InMemoryPushNotificationConfigStore. Hence, it is a drop-in replacement.
2. Configure Database
The following examples assume you are using PostgreSQL as your database. To use another database, adjust as needed for your environment.
For Quarkus Reference Servers
Add to your application.properties:
# Database configuration
quarkus.datasource.db-kind=postgresql
quarkus.datasource.jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/a2a_db
quarkus.datasource.username=your_username
quarkus.datasource.password=your_password
# Hibernate configuration
quarkus.hibernate-orm.database.generation=update
For WildFly/Jakarta EE Servers
Create or update your persistence.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/persistence" version="3.0">
<persistence-unit name="a2a-java" transaction-type="JTA">
<jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/A2ADataSource</jta-data-source>
<class>org.a2aproject.sdk.extras.pushnotificationconfigstore.database.jpa.JpaPushNotificationConfig</class>
<exclude-unlisted-classes>true</exclude-unlisted-classes>
<properties>
<!-- Change as required for your environment -->
<property name="jakarta.persistence.schema-generation.database.action" value="create"/>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
3. Database Schema
The module will automatically create the required table, which uses a composite primary key:
CREATE TABLE a2a_push_notification_configs (
task_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
config_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
task_data TEXT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (task_id, config_id)
);
Configuration Options
Persistence Unit Name
The module uses the persistence unit name "a2a-java". Ensure your persistence.xml defines a persistence unit with this name.
