Re: FieldsOfSimpleClass, FieldsOfSimpleInterface

[Craig Russell]

Hi Andy, We decided to change the FieldsOfSimpleInterface to avoid embedded fields. The only thing we will test is serializing and by-reference. I thought that the test was already updated to remove embedded field requirement. If there still are embedded persistent interfaces, then please file a JIRA.  Thanks, Craig On Aug 8, 2005, at 1:37 AM, Andy Jefferson wrote: FieldsOfSimpleClass now passes. JPOX latest now supports serialised PC fields  and serialised Interface fields. The only thing stopping FieldsOfSimpleInterface passing is probably that JPOX  doesn't support embedded interface fields. I don't consider this a mandatory  part of JDO2. Embedded interface fields are basically the same as embedded PC  fields where the embedded PC field can have inheritance. That is, with  embedded interface fields you can have different objects being embedded  (different interface implementations) and hence different columns can be  needed in the table. The same is true with embedded PC fields where the PC  object has inheritance, and so different columns needed dependent on the  object being embedded. Since the current JDO2 spec doesn't support having  discriminators as part of the <embedded> block then the JDO impl has no way  of distinguishing the type of the object that has been embedded. --  Andy Craig Russell Architect, Sun Java Enterprise System http://java.sun.com/products/jdo 408 276-5638 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S. A good JDO? O, Gasp!
