Craig L Russell commented on JDO-747:
-------------------------------------
@Tillmann What I intended with optimistic test is a new test that would verify
that your use case actually works. So it would not work now (like your updated
tests) but would work once the state transitions were implemented.
> Behavior of delete() with multiple concurrent Transactions

> Key: JDO-747
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-747
> Project: JDO
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: specification
> Affects Versions: JDO 3.1
> Reporter: Tilmann Zäschke
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: concurrency, delete, documentation, refresh(),
> specification
> Fix For: JDO 3.2

> In the Spec I could not find any statement regarding on how a transaction
> should behave if an object is deleted in a different concurrent transaction.
> Related Sections are Section 5.8 (how different methods should behave for
> different object states) and Section 12.6.1 (the behavior of refresh() and
> related methods).
> For example I wonder about the following situations. Suppose I have two
> optimistic sessions, pm1 and pm2, both access the same object. pm1 deletes
> the object and commits. Then what happens in pm2 if:
> 1. pm2 deletes the object and tries to commit, should that work? It's
> wouldn't be a real conflict if both delete it.
> 2. pm2 modifies the object (make dirty) and calls {{refresh()}}. Should I
> get an {{ObjectNotFound}} exception?
> 3. pm2 deletes the object and calls {{refresh()}}. According to the spec,
> {{refresh()}} should not change the object's state. But should it
> still fail with {{ObjectNotFound}}? If refresh should fail, how can I
> ever recover from such a situation, because I can't undelete the
> object?
> Is there a common understanding how this should work?
> IF there an external definition JDO relies on, then I think a reference to an
> external document might useful.
> If not, should the Spec define concurrent behavior?
