Craig Russell commented on JDO-630: ----------------------------------- To test this feature: Add an instance of FullTimeEmployee with identity 1. Object oid = new LongIdentity(PartTimeEmployee.class, 1); try { PartTimeEmployee pto = pm.getObjectById(oid, false); pto.getName(); } catch (JDOException ex) { // must fail } try { Object oid = new IntIdentity(PartTimeEmployee.class, 1); } catch (JDOException ex) { // must fail } Other cases with Person must also fail. > Support specification of exact class in SingleFieldIdentity > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JDO-630 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-630 > Project: JDO > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: specification > Reporter: Andy Jefferson > Assignee: Craig Russell > Fix For: JDO 2 maintenance release 3 > > > When calling PersistenceManager.getObjectById() with a SingleFieldIdentity, > there seems to be no way of avoiding the following > (if the implementation decides to do so): > "It is an implementation decision whether to access the data store, if > required to determine the exact class. This will be the case of inheritance, > where multiple <code>PersistenceCapable</code> classes share the same > ObjectId class." > Now when I know for sure that the targetClassName of the given > SingleFieldIdentity already denotes the correct class for the given id, how > can I avoid that additional roundtrip to the database for finding the exact > class? > It would be useful to have a way of specifying a SingleFieldIdentity to be > for the exact class specified. This could be done by addition of methods > void setExact(boolean flag); > boolean getExact(); > to SingleFieldIdentity -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
