Problem with postLoad callback and faulting

[John Huss]

I've tracked down a problem.  The situation is I have a postLoad callback
on an entity that calls a setter on the object, for example:

public void publicCallback(Object entity) {
        Artist a = (Artist)entity;
        a.setArtistName("Changed");
}

This works if you fetch the object directly with a SelectQuery.  But if you
fault in the object through a relationship it will call
BaseContext.prepareForAccess which has this:

            // sanity check...
            if (object.getPersistenceState() != PersistenceState.COMMITTED)
{

                String state = PersistenceState.persistenceStateName(object
                        .getPersistenceState());

                // TODO: andrus 4/13/2006, modified and deleted states are
possible due to
                // a race condition, should we handle them here?

                throw new FaultFailureException(...
            }

Since the object is modified (not committed) an exception is thrown.  I
have a test case written to demonstrate the problem, but I'm not sure what
the best solution is.  I think it is valid to allow mutating an object
during postLoad.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
