Tilmann Zäschke commented on JDO-751: ------------------------------------- Maybe it should also be considered whether JDO may at some point want to add something like lambdas do JDOQL. In that case, it would be useful to have the {{isPresent()}}, {{orElse(...)}} and {{get()}} methods available. > Support for Java8 Optional > -------------------------- > > Key: JDO-751 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-751 > Project: JDO > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: specification, tck > Reporter: Andy Jefferson > > java.util.Optional provides a feature that is available in other languages. > Since JDO 3.2 will be for Java8+ then it makes sense to add support for this > as a "supported persistable type" -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
