Actually, the most obvious approach is not to write some special code, but simply enable replication and don't worry about trying to get OJPA to sync. What kind of database is it (most popular db's have replication of one sort or another)?

We have one data model and we need two datastores with that same data model. Datastore A for editing and previewing and datastore B for production (live). Now we need to synchronize parts of datastore A to datastore B. The most obvious approach would be: fetch objects from datastore A (and possibly detach the objects) and then merge them in database B. But this rises a couple of problems due to versioning / sequence generators / optimistic locking / ... e.g.: - If objects (detached from datastore A) do not exist in datastore B, they are assumed deleted and an exception is thrown - Since we're using the GeneratedValue annotation for ids, objects would not be able to get persisted in datastore B even if they were new. Do you have any idea how to solve this problem in a regular way? One (non JPA-)way would be to implement it with native queries. Maybe this is the only way? Would probably be harder to maintain though. Thanks for any suggestion! Regards Jonas
