Unnecessary version update on inverse-side of a 1-m relationship
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OPENJPA-843
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-843
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jdbc
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Dinkar Rao
            Priority: Minor


A Customer has 1-m relationship to Inventory:

@Entity
Customer {
    ....
    @OneToMany(mappedBy="customer")
    private Collection<Inventory> inventories = new ArrayList<Inventory>();
    ....
}

@Entity
Inventory {
    ...
    @ManyToOne
    private Customer customer;
    ...
}

When an Inventory instance is modified, its version is bumped as expected.  
However, when an Inventory is added or deleted from the Inventory list in 
Customer, the Customer instance version is unnecessarily bumped up. According 
to section 3.4.2 of the 1.0 spec,

"The version attribute is updated by the persistence provider runtime when the 
object is 
written to the database. All non-relationship fields and properties and all 
relationships 
owned by the entity are included in version checks."

When additions or deletions are made to the Inventory list of Customer, the 
version of the Customer instance should remain unchanged. As the inverse-side, 
Customer does not own the Inventory that is added/deleted.
