The question was simply whether exposing the
Work/command APIs justify removal of the connection() method from the
perspective of using it for direct JDBC work. I do not know that answer
to that. Unfortunately, I suspect it does not and that we will need to
keep connection() around; but one can dream.
I'd keep connection() around and not deprecate it, no matter what better
solutions we find for the various use cases. We can hide it in the API
documentation and like we do now, document the problems. It's just too
useful to deprecate it. Also remember the public riots when JDO 1.0
didn't have an easy way to get a JDBC connection.
I agree this is also a reason/same reason to keep it, but I do think (at
least for now ;) that
@deprecate would make sense.
Not @deprecate as in "it will be removed", but @deprecate as how it is
done for e.g. Date and some of its constructors.
Those constructors are still around because they are usable in some
contexts but with @deprecate it is made explicit and documented
that they are 'bad' and what the consequences are for using it.
