Andy Jefferson commented on JDO-709: ------------------------------------ A "converted class" doesn't track changesĀ *unless* the provider happens to have a wrapper class for that type. There is no obligation on a JDO provider to provide a wrapper for all possible types that a user may want to convert. Fields of a "converted class" are not declared using metadata; the user simply provides a converter that does the conversion for that type. > Standardize field/property converters > ------------------------------------- > > Key: JDO-709 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-709 > Project: JDO > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: api, specification, tck > Reporter: Matthew T.
