Is it possible to use Toplink Essentials without application server, just on desktop application?

A:
Yes but for certain behaviour you may have to use the JVM startup options to enable the toplink agent. I believe this is for the lazy loading or something similar.
Do you mean TopLink or TopLink Essentials? The first is a commercial Oracle product. The latter is the reference implementation of JPA 1.0, which is a somewhat cut down version.
Honestly I don't think there's any reason to use anything other than EclipseLink (which will be the JPA 2.0 reference implementation) or Hibernate.
To actually do this:

I ment TopLink Essentials, but I'll take your recommendation and try EclipseLink and Hibernate :)

A:
Yes it is, as long as you don't need JNDI naming services. Toplink and Hibernate can both run without an app server. You just need a relational database and a JDBC driver.
