Hi Bardolf,
I don't think there's a way to do a partial commit without detaching the
entities you don't want to update. The OpenJPAEntityManager interface
provides some utility methods which detach all entities in a collection,
which might make detaching a set of entities easier though.
Regarding the UPDATE and DELETE issue you're seeing, which version of
OpenJPA are you using? I ran a quick test with v 1.0.1 and I'm not seeing
that behavior.
