Hello, In my experience, that "fallback enhancement" mode (see http://openjpa.apache.org/docs/latest/manual/ref_guide_pc_enhance.html#ref_guide_pc_enhance_unenhanced_types) causes much more havoc and trouble and confusion than that it's of any use. (I'm not just ranting, but saying this based on experience with people starting to adopt an OpenJPA-based piece in-house here - more than once, problems like "but it does way to many too much DB access!" are because of this.) The fact that https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-293 is still an Open New Feature, with five open sub-tasks (so technically this development was never finished, yet it's automatically activated and shows up in the official doc) and in e.g. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-444 (and may be others?) there are bug reports which are probably only due to this, may support my point of view? It would much rather that if Entities are not enhanced at build time (which we do, through Maven; but sometimes a developers has Eclipse overwriting) and the Agent (which developers are encouraged to do when developing locally e.g. in JUnit Test for rapid cycles) is not in use, that instead of going to that "fallback enhancement" mode, it would abort and say "Use the build-time Enhancer or specify the Agent to Enhance at Run-Time (or deploy into a EJB container which does enhancement)". How about some sort of OpenJPA configuration property for this? For backward compatibility, now that it's out, it probably has be remain ON by default (or can you make it OFF by default?), but at least give us a configuration option to switch this *#ç mode ;-) off! Shall I file a new JIRA Enhancement requesting this? Thanks, Michael PS: In the short term, I may make our own OpenJPA wrapper/helper stuff to abort... it should be relatively easy to check at start-up if some class implements org.apache.openjpa.enhance.PersistenceCapable (by the Enhancer), but how could I check if, alternatively, the Agent is actively running?
