I've uploaded a new specification draft to the project Documents area
(
http://java.net/projects/jpa-spec/downloads)
This draft includes changes in support of unsynchronized persistence
contexts along the lines of the proposal submitted two months ago.
These changes affect Chapters 3 and 7 and section 10.4.1. There are a
number of open issues flagged in the text, including some pertaining
to ways in which we might extend this functionality.
Please review these changes carefully, and post any comments or corrections.
If the group is supportive of this direction, I would like to submit a version
of this draft to the JCP for purposes of Early Draft Review so that we can get
feedback from the broader community. Please let me know if you think that
anything stands in the way of that.
thanks,
-Linda
p.s. The changebars are additive from the last draft, so that all changes
since JPA 2.0 will be flagged when we submit a JCP draft.
