Since you're using Data Nucleus, see their FAQ on JDO vs JPA. http://www.datanucleus.org/products/accessplatform_3_0/jdo_jpa_faq.html

DataNucleus AccessPlatform supports both JDO and JPA specifications of Java persistence. As such it has no "vested interest" in either technology, believing that it is for users to choose which they like best. There has been much FUD on the web about JDO and JPA, largely perpetrated by RDBMS vendors. This FAQ corrects many of these points
