             Summary: [Persistence] Cleanup ambiguous EntityState Terminolgy
                 Key: CAUSEWAY-3500
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAUSEWAY-3500
             Project: Causeway
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Persistence JDO, Persistence JPA
            Reporter: Andi Huber
            Assignee: Andi Huber
             Fix For: 2.0.0-RC2


In the framework's context DETACHED just means PERSISTABLE but currently NOT-ATTACHED.

However, within JDO and JPA context, DETACHED means that an entity can be still worked with then be made persistent again later, whilst the persistence layer will have kept track of any changes in between.

While JDO supports this technology, we historically never enabled it. Instead the framework relies on Bookmarks/OIDs to re-fetch entities, should there be an interaction.

JDO instead offers the lightweight HOLLOW state for entities, which JPA does not.

So my goal is to clean up the EntityState enum, perhaps rename some of the states and correct any ambiguous associated java-doc.
