[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-12?page=all ]

Michael Dick resolved OPENJPA-12.
---------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

Per comments on the dev mailing list. If the TCK passes with the property 
specified then there's no need to change the default behavior. 

I'm setting the resolution to invalid since it isn't really a bug (won't fix 
didn't sound right).

> The default behavior with OpenJPA is to be very forgiving regarding the 
> Primary Key types passed in when calling EntityManager.find or 
> EntityManager.getReference. 
> For example if an Entity has an ID of type Long OpenJPA will attempt to 
> convert anything that extend java.lang.Number and Strings (maybe others). 
> This is a nice feature, but I don't think it should be the default behavior.  
> The JPA spec indicates that an IllegalArgumentException should be thrown if 
> the second argument is not a valid type for the Entity's primary key. There 
> is some room for interpretation as to what constitutes a valid type, 
> conversion for all Numbers makes sense, but String might be pushing it.
> Workaround : 
> Add the following to persistence.xml
> <property name="openjpa.Compatibility"        
> value="strictIdentityValues=true" />
> Proposed Solution : 
> The OpenJPA compatibility plugin provides a mechanism to enforce strict 
> identity checking (defaulting to false). There's no need to change the 
> default in the kernel (other persistence apis like JDO might be more lenient) 
> so I propose changing the default in 
> PersistenceProductDerivation.beforeConfigurationLoad(). 
> Changing it there should only effect the JPA facade and leave the OpenJPA 
> kernel's default in place for other facades. 
> The value may be overridden by adding the following property to 
> persistence.xml 
> <property name="openjpa.Compatibility"        
> value="strictIdentityValues=false" />
