Extend PersistenceManageFactory to find a Class
-----------------------------------------------
Key: JDO-668
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-668
Project: JDO
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Marco
The meta-data-related methods in PersistenceManagerFactory work with Strings
(fully qualified class-names) instead of classes. This includes the new method
requested in JDO-667.
However, to actually do sth. (e.g. create a new query or get an extent), a
java.lang.Class is required. In some environments (e.g. OSGi), class-loading is
not trivial and it is therefore not so easy to get the right java.lang.Class
(i.e. the same as used by the JDO implementation) for a certain class-name.
Since the JDO implementation needs to be able to load the right classes,
anyway, the class-loading must already be solved somehow (e.g. by an OSGi-aware
class-loader). It should therefore be easy to expose the method used by the JDO
implementation for class-loading.
For these reasons, I kindly request the following new method in
PersistenceManagerFactory:
Class<?> getManagedClass(String className)
