Bug in orm dtd?: missing serialized attribute of

[Michelle Caisse <Mi...@Sun.COM>]

Hi Craig,

The dtds in the latest spec specify a serialized attribute for the 
following elements:

jdo: property, field, key, value, element
orm: property,  key, value, element

Is the lack of a serialized attribute for <field> in the orm an 
unintentional oversight?

Hi Michelle,

Actually, I think the oversight is having the serialized attribute in  
the orm at all.

The rationale is that things that can affect the operation of the  
application should be only in the jdo metadata. Since serialized data  
cannot be queried, it affects the application and therefore should  
only be in jdo.

Thanks for pointing this out. I'll follow up with the expert group,  
but for now, you should only put serialized into the jdo files.

If this doesn't make sense please let me know.

Thanks,

Craig
