Andy Jefferson commented on JDO-683:
------------------------------------
Or you simply allow @Version to be specifiable on the field/property, and
<version> be specified under <field>/<property>
> Allow version field/property to be visible to application

> Key: JDO-683
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-683
> Project: JDO
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: api
> Affects Versions: JDO 3 maintenance release 1
> Reporter: Matthew T. Adams
> Labels: jdo, jdouserexception, optimistic, transactions, version
>
> Currently, it requires a vendor extension to make the version attribute
> (field or property) of a PC visible to the application. Some knowledgeable
> applications may need not only read access to the version field, but also
> write access to it.
> I propose that we allow version metadata to specify that a version attribute
> be application-visible. For annotation-based metadata, I recommend that it
> be allowed to be placed on fields & methods. For XML metadata, add XML
> attributes "attribute-name" to the "version" element that allows the user to
> specify which field or property is to hold the application-visible version
> value.
> Along with this change would be verbiage in the spec noting that applications
> really shouldn't change this value, but a knowledgeable application may
> change it, based on a new PMF & PM property called something like
> "javax.jdo.option.OnVersionChangeByApplication" with the following specified
> values.
> THROW: (default) the implementation will throw JDOUserVersionChangeException
> (extends JDOUserException) as early as the time the value is set, at the next
> flush, or at commit.
> IGNORE: the implementation ignores the value the user set for the object's
> version
> ALLOW: the implementation allows and uses the value the user set for the
> object's version
> This allows users to who know how their implementation behaves on
> user-modified version values to take advantage of such behavior.
> All names proposed are up for discussion.
