Reloading/Refreshing attributes of an persistent object

[Sebastian]

Since,
all discussions on reloading/refreshing an persistent object somehow 
ended up on different topics. Therefore I'm trying to formulate it as 
simple as possible:
What are the exact steps to refresh the attributes of a single 
persistent object without generating a new instance?
- What settings have to be made in the class descriptor.
- What methods of the persistence broker needs to be called.
- Is it possible at all?
- If it is not possible right now, will there be an option in the 
future and what could be a workaround for the moment.

Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

The following seems to work, but I have no clue if it's the best way to 
reload an object:

public void reload(Object obj)
{
  ClassDescriptor cld = pb.getClassDescriptor(obj.getClass());
  cld.setAlwaysRefresh(true);
  pb.getObjectByQuery(new QueryByIdentity(obj));
}
Any comments?

pb.retrieveAllReferences(obj); needs to be added ... that's what I'm 
using now:

public void reload(Object ojb)
{
  ClassDescriptor cld = pb.getClassDescriptor(rechnung.getClass());
  synchronized (cld)
  {
boolean refresh = cld.isAlwaysRefresh();
cld.setAlwaysRefresh(true);
pb.getObjectByQuery(new QueryByIdentity(obj));
pb.retrieveAllReferences(obj);
cld.setAlwaysRefresh(refresh);
  }
}
