In case my subject line was confusing, I'll elaborate: Let's say I have a parent object that has a collection of children. I detach that parent object and intentionally omit the collection of children from the fetch group, in order to avoid fetching the potentially numerous children.
Then, I want to add a new child to that parent's collection. I thought I would be able to add that child to the parent's empty un- detached collection, and thus have a child-collection size of 1, and then have that child be added to the parent's collection of children when the parent is attached. This code gave me an "illegal access of field that wasn't detached, if you want to access this field please detach it" exception. The reason that I thought this was possible was the following lines from the JDO docs: "If you don't detach a field of an object, you cannot access the value for that field while the object is detached. If you don't detach a field of an object, you can update the value for that field while detached, and thereafter you can access the value for that field." (http://www.jpox.org/docs/1_2/jdo/attach_detach.html) The second line pertains to what I'm doing (updatingthe value for the field while detached), but I guess in so doing I am also trying to "access the value" for the field. In short, is what I'm trying to do possible? Cheers, Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
