Craig L Russell commented on JDO-709:
-------------------------------------
Here are proposed specification updates.
5.4.1 Application identity
No change unless we decide to allow converted fields to be primary key fields.
6.3 Second Class Objects
Second Class Objects are instances of:
- immutable system classes (java.lang.Integer, java.lang.String, etc.),
- JDO implementation subclasses of mutable system classes that implement the
functionality of their system class (java.util.Date, java.util.HashSet, etc.)
- user-defined non-persistence-capable classes that use a user-defined
converter (converted classes)
- persistence- capable classes.
Second Class Objects of mutable system classes, converted classes, and
persistence-capable classes track changes made to them, and notify their owning
FCO that they have changed.
SCO fields of converted classes are declared using metadata, either in the
associated jdo metadata file or via annotation.
6.4 Field types of pc classes
6.4.3 Persistent fields
Converted Types
JDO implementations must support fields of user-defined types that have an
associated converter that defines conversion of values between the user-defined
type and a supported database type.
14.6 Query Interface
void declareParameters (String parameters);
Bind the parameter statements to the query instance. This method defines the
parameter types and names that will be used by a subsequent execute method.
Converted types may be used as parameters.
14.6.2 Query Filter Specification
Rules for constructing valid expressions follow the Java language, except for
these differences:
• Equality and ordering comparisons between primitives, instances of converted
classes, and instances of wrapper classes are valid.
• Equality and ordering comparisons between instances of converted classes use
the converted values for comparison.
• Arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or
modulo) on fields use the converted values as the expression terms.
Methods apply to converted types.
