Tilmann Zäschke commented on JDO-751: ------------------------------------- I just realise that throwing an exception during enhancement probably won't be possible, because after type erasure, the field will simply be of type {{Optional}}. Chained {{Optional<Optional<?>>}} can only be detected during serilization. Should we throw the Exception during serialization? > 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)
