Merge of lazily fetched fields, and merge of managed entities deviates from spec
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: OPENJPA-1983
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1983
Project: OpenJPA
Issue Type: Bug
Components: jdbc
Affects Versions: 2.1.0
Reporter: Pradyumna Achar
Attached is a test case that illustrates this fail (You can place it into
openjpa-persistence-jdbc/src/test/java/org.apache.openjpa.persistence.merge)
Problem 1: Section 3.2.7.1 (Merging Detached Entity State) of the specification
says that "The persistence provider must not merge fields marked LAZY that have
not been fetched: it must ignore such fields when merging.". The attached test
case illustrates that OpenJPA 2.1.0 does not ignore fields marked LAZY that
have not been fetched.
Problem 2: In the same section, the specification says "If X is a managed
entity, it is ignored by the merge operation...". But OpenJPA 2.1.0 doesn't
seem to ignore them.
