Re: Poll: comparing old and new beans before persisting

[Chris Marshall]

Hi Bryan,
If I understand you correctly you implement a form of field level
optimistic locking using three versions of a bean - the original bean,
the modified bean, and the currently persisted bean (which may have
been changed by others since the original bean was read). By comparing
the properties of each you update only those properties that have
changed, presumably only if they have not been changed by others in
the meantime. Is this correct?
