Re: embedded SimpleInterface, Object

[Craig Russell]

Hi Michelle, I think that embedding Object and SimpleInterface isn't really a requirement. I'll look at the spec again, but I think that the two strategies that are really useful and should be the focus of our testing are: serializing the object into a blob column referring via foreign key column to the primary table of the implementing class(es).  These are the common use cases, and so I'd suggest dropping the embedding-column-by-column strategy from the FieldsOfSimpleObject and FieldsOfSimpleInterface. Does anyone think that the spec requires this strategy and it's common enough that we need TCK tests?

JPOX doesnt support embedding of this type. Your embedded type must be PersistenceCapable. Same with Object.
