Jerry Carter updated OPENJPA-1569: ---------------------------------- Priority: Minor (was: Major) (Set priority to minor as there are a number of workarounds.) While some argument might be made for supporting arbitrary types as recipients for @Strategy decoration, the spirit of JPA limits one to "user-defined types that implement the Serializable interface" (JPA 2.0, section 2.2). This is probably why the distinction is made in JavaTypes, but the implementation might be wrong. Rather than 'type == Serializable.class', mightn't this be 'Serializable.class.isAssignableFrom(type)'? > @Strategy triggers an InvalidStateException for fields which are declared as > Java interfaces > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OPENJPA-1569 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1569 > Project: OpenJPA > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0.0-beta2 > Environment: MacOS X, Spring 3.0, Maven > Reporter: Jerry Carter > Priority: Minor > > The @Strategy annotation works fine for classes but does not work if the > field is a Java interface.

Set the cascade attribute > for this field to CascadeType.PERSIST or CascadeType.ALL (JPA annotations) or > "persist" or "all" (JPA orm.xml), or enable cascade-persist globally, or > manually persist the related field value prior to flushing.
