Hi Aleksei,
I do not have a detailed list of what is expected, my understanding
comes from some presentations I have attended.
The mailing list for feature requests is:
persistenceNoSpam-feature-request_at_sun.com. If there are features that
you think would be useful, they would be very happy to hear from you.
For information about the planned features, keep you eye open for the
announcement of new JPA JSRs.
-Tom
