Tilmann Zäschke commented on JDO-751: ------------------------------------- I think there still is a problem when writing {{postcode == null}} in a query. If {{postcode}} is of type {{Optional}} and the {{Optional}} references {{null}}, should the query match the object (because the Optional references null) or not (because the reference to the optional is not null)? In Java this is not ambiguous. > Support for Java8 Optional > -------------------------- > > Key: JDO-751 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-751 > Project: JDO > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: specification, tck > Reporter: Andy Jefferson > > java.util.Optional provides a feature that is available in other languages. > Since JDO 3.2 will be for Java8+ then it makes sense to add support for this > as a "supported persistable type" -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
