Hi Craig,
[snip]
If not, are there plans to put together such tests into OpenJPA
itself?
OpenJPA is, like most Apache projects, a do-ocracy. If you have an
itch, you are encouraged to scratch it.
Yep, totally agree there and I would love to 'scratch' this 'itch' as
well, but right now I am scratching many ;-). My intent was to see if
there was something I could readily use (like the resources pointed out
by yourself) or if it something was expected soon that would address
this (Patrick's other email covered that aspect).
I'm just guessing here, but it's likely that a test suite that is
used for Kodo and not already contributed to OpenJPA has significant
resource constraints to make it suitable for OpenJPA.
If this is important for you, you will need to take the initiative to
propose a solution that you can implement.
I would like to get the testing set up at this stage when I don't have
too much code (openjpa maven plugin and an ORM generator module that I
want to use in Continuum) - so yes, I'd say this is important. Though I
am not sure how much time and effort I would be able to commit to it if
I picked it up.
The process for proposing a new feature would be to discuss it on
this alias (done) and then once there is concurrence that such a
feature would be useful (done), create a JIRA issue to track it. The
JIRA would then contain the further discussion on how to implement
the feature.
Done, http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-105
Cheers,
Rahul
