Marc Prud'hommeaux commented on OPENJPA-5:
------------------------------------------
I feel that this issue is merely to make it possible for OpenJPA to be
compilable against Java 6/JDBC 4.
My personal opinion is that if we see new features in JDBC 4 that we want to
take advantage of, a separate issue should be filed (with this issue as a
dependency).
> OpenJPA doesn't compile with JDBC 4

> Key: OPENJPA-5
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-5
> Project: OpenJPA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Craig Russell

> Patrick opines:
> OpenJPA implements Statement, ResultSet, Connection, and maybe a
> couple other JDBC interfaces. See
> org.apache.openjpa.lib.jdbc.Delegating*. We do this for a number of
> reasons: to resolve database-specific bugs in a transparent fashion, to
> provide logging, to handle reference counting, etc.
> The pressing issue is that we must provide implementations of all of the
> methods in the various java.sql interfaces. The fact that we do not
> implement the new JDBC4 methods is why OpenJPA won't currently compile
> against JDK6. This is pretty easy to fix; take a look at
> org.apache.openjpa.lib.jdbc.DelegatingStatement to see how we handled
> this for JDBC3. Since we know that we never invoke the new methods, we
> can happily throw unsupported operation exceptions for the new methods.
> However, these unsupported methods do provide a challenge. While Kodo
> doesn't use any of these methods, our mechanism for implementing them is
> limiting, in that users who obtain Connections from Kodo will not be
> able to use the new JDBC3/JDBC4 methods in their own code. Ideally, we
> should provide some means for people to designate to OpenJPA that it
> should use a dynamic proxy to implement the unimplemented methods. This
> shouldn't be the default behavior, as the dynamic proxy will add
> overhead, but certainly could be desirable for some. I'll file an issue.
