There's an error in my first post. I have a list of entities in a parent-child relationship. Now If I change an entity in the list everything is fine. The versions of the changed entity and the parent are updated only. But if I add or remove an element to or from the list of children ALL child entity versions are increased in the list. I suppose this is the optimistic lock protection mechanism Mark mentioned.
So I guess there is no way to intercept this behaviour? -- View this message in context: http://openjpa.208410.n2.nabble.com/Why-is-parent-version-incremented-on-update-of-child-entity-tp7582115p7582581.html Sent from the OpenJPA Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
