Hi Erik,The 18.14 section is incomplete; it doesn't address the several use cases that we discussed a couple of months ago. I'm going to update the section as soon as I review the discussion.

Hi, ยง18.14 "When contained in a class element:- The field-name attribute is required; it associates a persistent field withthe named property."AFAIR field-name attribute is used for generated classes. It should be optionalwhen contained in class or interface elements. e.g. //user given interface interface Animal { @Persistent(fieldname="kind2") int getKind(); } //jdo implementation generated class class GeneratedAnimal { int kind2; int getKind() { return kind2; } } or --- //user given abstract class abstract Jedi { int jedilevel; @Persistent(fieldname="jedilevel") int getLevel(); } //jdo implementation generated class class GeneratedJedi { int jedilevel; int getLevel() { return jedilevel; } } The new wording could be: "When contained in a class or interface element:- The field-name attribute is optional; it associates a persistent property witha named field."
