Hi Craig,
2. Test challenges. Some challenges have been filed by Ilan. Most
have been fixed in 2.1 maintenance (trunk) and one of them is
unresolved but can be fixed in the challenge resolution branch 2.0.1
interim to a final fix in 2.1 maintenance.
Clarification: The 2.1 maintenance work is being done on the trunk.
We created a 2.0.1 branch that has no API changes from 2.0 but has
fixes for the tck where a specification clarification or API change
would be needed to pass the tck. A compliant JDO 2.0 implementation
should be able to pass the latest tck test in the 2.0.1 branch.
I am not sure I understand this. Currently it is impossible for a compliant
JDO implementation to pass the latest tck tests in the 2.0.1 branch.
For instance, look at:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-529
As you explained very well in a comment to this issue on 16 Sep 2007,
an implementation should return 4 result objects rather than 3.
I suggest adding these 5 tests to the exclude list of branch 2.0.1.
Otherwise, until the release of JDO 2.1 no implementation can be
JDO compliance (unfortunately including the reference implementation),
because you can only pass the tests by violating the specification.
Regards, Ilan
