Tilmann Zäschke commented on JDO-751: ------------------------------------- Interesting. I had tried it with variables, but they only gave me the basic <E> or <T> type. It didn't expect that fields behave differently and give you the actual generic type, but it appears they do. Still, we can only catch it if the generic type is actually given and precise enough (not {{<Object>}} or {{<?>}} or omitted). > 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 > Fix For: JDO 3.2 > > > 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)
