Hi,
I'd like to see others' reaction to this proposal as well.
String getObjectState(Object pc)
I clearly think it's a good idea since that's why JPOX has it ;-)
Anything that adds more information to the user domain and more clearly
defines the object states is a good thing.

I agree with the principle of making the return an enum (for the "api21" jar -
obviously can't be like that in the legacy jar since that has to support
1.3+). The only issue is that HOLLOW and P_NONTRANS have the same
combinations of the various "isPersistent", "isTransactional", etc fields and
that is why the JPOX method outputs "hollow / persistent-nontransactional"
Since we have always drawn a distinction, perhaps unwisely, between
hollow and PNT, we'll just have to follow that path.
