wrong and should be reported as such. The description of
EntityManager.getReference explicitly states that state might be
lazily fetched and that you can't rely on the state being available
on detach unless you've accessed it.
Yes, agreed. The tests have been challenged and are being removed from
the CTS. Nonetheless, the behavior that the CTS relied on still seems
valuable.
I should have been more clear in my original email: I'm not trying to
figure out how to pass the CTS test, but am wondering if we should be
adding the loaded+fetchgroup option, since it seems useful.
I think we should ask our selves, what does a user expect to happen
and make that the default. If every JPA implements this with the
loaded+fetchgroup style by default, and OpenJPA doesn't that would be
quite surprising to users and will most likely result in a lot of
lost hours in a debugger.
