Hi!
Currently detached entities behave completely different if they are 'just'
detached or if they got serialised/deserialised. This is almost solely due to
_pcStateManager == null after the serialisation.
After serialisation we basically miss _dirty and _loaded information in our
entities, which has a few very bad side effects.
The one which currently annoy me most is that setting a field to null doesn't
get stored to the database. This is caused because we don't have the _loaded
information anymore and thus cannot know if the field is null because it never
got loaded or if it got set to null manually.
Now my question: is it possible to restore the DetachedStateManager on
deserialisation somehow? There is already an option for if:
<property name="openjpa.DetachState" value="loaded(DetachedStateField=true)"/>
But either I'm making something wrong, or it just doesn't work. Any hints on
that?
Btw: I'm mainly working with compiletime enhanced classes, but I guess the
basic problem remains the same in any enhancement case.
txs and LieGrue,
