Ron,

This is an area of the spec that is full of holes. The bottom line is that 
in SDO 2.0.1 the Java interface commonj.sdo.DataGraph has no defined 
relationship to the DataObject that would be created from the complexType 
BaseDataGraphType, other than the one vaguely implied by this example. 
DataGraphs are not DataObjects in the current spec, Tuscany, or any other 
implementation of SDO that I'm aware of. The SDO collaboration group has 
been discussing changing this in SDO 2.1. The general feeling is that it 
would be good to make DataGraphs proper DataObjects (it would solve a lot 
of the other questions like how do you create a DataGraph), but we need to 
define the behavior of DataGraph/DataObject methods like getDataGraph, 
getChangeSummary, and getRootObject, some of which are duplicates 
(declared in both interfaces), and all of which have ambiguous behavior in 
the combined DataGraph/DataObject case.

As far as Tuscany is concerned, a prereq is to get ChangeSummaryType 
properties to work - which we've started working on, but still need a few 
weeks. Once we have that working, we can start implementing DataGraph as a 
proper DataObject (ahead of the 2.1 spec). After that, I think you could 
do what your asking for.

Short term, I think you're out of luck.

Frank.
