Craig L Russell commented on JDO-667:
-------------------------------------

Could you write up a technical description of the method suitable for inclusion 
in the specification, and think about writing test cases?

When does a class appear in the list? In JDO, classes and metadata are loaded 
lazily, so we need to decide when a class is required to be in the list, and 
when a class is allowed to be in the list.

> JDO 3 now has the ability to declare meta-data programmatically. Part of this 
> feature is the ability to ask the PersistenceManagerFactory via the method 
> getMetadata(java.lang.String) for the meta-data of one single class. But 
> there is no way to list all known classes.
> I therefore kindly ask for a new method in PersistenceManagerFactory like 
> this:
> Collection<String> getClassesWithMetadata();
> Btw., this is Andy's suggestion posted here: 
> http://www.datanucleus.org/servlet/forum/viewthread_thread,6379#33224
> I'd greatly appreciate, if this method became a part of JDO 3.1.
> Edit 1: I just saw the various overloaded methods getManagedObjects(...) in 
> PersistenceManager - maybe the alternative method name "getManagedClasses()" 
> would be more consistent?
