So if we introduce a flag that uses the same instance on attach, we might want to have the flag called CopyOnMakePersistent and have true be the current specified behavior and false be the new behavior we've been discussing.

The defaults for these kinds of options have never been specified (even Optimistic).

With this restriction in place, however, would I be able to do the

"detachAllOnCommit" will transition instances to detached *at commit*. You have no commit here (using nontransactionalRead ?). If you have tx.begin(),
tx.commit() around it then its definitely fine. Nothing in the spec
definition of "detachAllOnCommit" implies (to me) that queries run with
non-tx read will do the detach.

// make it dirty:
foo.setBar("bar");

"foo" : detached-clean -> detached-dirty

// attach
pm.currentTransaction().begin();
pm.makePersistent(foo);

"foo" : detached-dirty -> persistent-clean

pm.currentTransaction().commit();

"foo" : persistent-clean -> detached-clean

// dirty it once more
foo.addBaz("baz");

"foo" : detached-clean -> detached-dirty

// and attach it a second time

"foo" : detached-dirty -> persistence-clean

- wouldn't this cause the  JDOUserException you mention above?

No. If referring to the same PM, the object would have been removed from L1 cache at detach. The exception I was referring to was if you did a separate PM.detachCopy() or detached it from a different PM and *then* tried to attach
to the same PM as one that already had it.
