Tilmann Zäschke commented on JDO-751: ------------------------------------- The argument or supporting {{orElse()}} would be that these are probably the 3 basic {{Optional}} operations and that it would complement JDOQL's other conditional statement:{{if}} (I though there was {{x==y?a:b}} as well, but I can't find it now). But we should only add features that will actually be used, do we have any information how much that is used? > 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)
