I don't see how this is going to happen for the case we're discussing here. If we go for the hints I was suggesting in previous mails, those will have to be respected by both DataAccess and DataStore. Even assuming that DataAccess could do transaction (even if it won't for a long time as far as I can see) how would it help? A JDBC data store would either hide the primary key or alternatively expose it but make those columns read only, so DataAccess would not have any way to interact with it write wise anyways. Even assuming DataAccess was there and usable for transactional work, the proposal would not change a single bit, it would just make the implementation harder as I'd have to fix the complex data store as well.
