+While the JPA specification says that you should not use rolled back objects,

+When loading data into a field, OpenJPA examines the value you assign the field
+in your declaration code or in your no-args constructor. If the field value's
+type is more specific than the field's declared type, OpenJPA uses the value
+type to hold the loaded data. OpenJPA also uses the comparator you've
+initialized the field with, if any. Therefore, you can use custom comparators on
+your persistent field simply by setting up the comparator and using it in your
+field's initial value.

+At runtime, the values of all mutable second class object fields in persistent
+and transactional objects are replaced with implementation-specific proxies. On
+modification, these proxies notify their owning instance that they have been
+changed, so that the appropriate updates can be made on the datastore.

+Most proxies only track whether or not they have been modified. Smart proxies
+for collection and map fields, however, keep a record of which elements have
+been added, removed, and changed. This record enables the OpenJPA runtime to
+make more efficient database updates on these fields.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+When designing your persistent classes, keep in mind that you can optimize for
+OpenJPA smart proxies by using fields of type <code class="classname">java.util.Set
+</code>, <code class="classname">java.util.TreeSet</code>, and <code class="classname">
+java.util.HashSet</code> for your collections whenever possible. Smart
+proxies for these types are more efficient than proxies for <code class="classname">
+List</code>s. You can also design your own smart proxies to further 
+optimize OpenJPA for your usage patterns. See the section on
+<a class="link" href="ref_guide_pc_scos.html#ref_guide_pc_scos_proxy_custom" title="6.4.3.&nbsp; Custom Proxies">custom proxies</a> for

+Under standard ORM behavior, traversing a persistent collection or map field
+brings the entire contents of that field into memory. Some persistent fields,
+however, might represent huge amounts of data, to the point that attempting to
+fully instantiate them can overwhelm the JVM or seriously degrade performance.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+OpenJPA uses special proxy types to represent these "large result set" fields.
+OpenJPA's large result set proxies do not cache any data in memory. Instead,
+each operation on the proxy offloads the work to the database and returns the
+proper result. For example, the <code class="methodname">contains</code> method of a
+large result set collection will perform a <code class="literal"> SELECT COUNT(*)</code>
+query with the proper <code class="literal">WHERE</code> conditions to find out if the
+given element exists in the database's record of the collection. Similarly, each
+time you obtain an iterator OpenJPA performs the proper query using the current
+<a class="link" href="ref_guide_dbsetup_lrs.html" title="10.&nbsp; Large Result Sets">large result set settings</a>, as
+discussed in the <a class="link" href="ref_guide_dbsetup.html" title="Chapter&nbsp;4.&nbsp; JDBC">JDBC</a> chapter. As you
+invoke <code class="methodname">Iterator.next</code>, OpenJPA instantiates the result
+objects on-demand.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+You can free the resources used by a large result set iterator by passing it to
+the static <a class="link" href="ref_guide_runtime_jpa.html#ref_guide_runtime_openjpapersistence" title="2.9.&nbsp; OpenJPAPersistence"><code class="methodname">
+OpenJPAPersistence.close</code></a> method.

+You can also add and remove from large result set proxies, just as with standard
+fields. OpenJPA keeps a record of all changes to the elements of the proxy,
+which it uses to make sure the proper results are always returned from
+collection and map methods, and to update the field's database record on commit.

+OpenJPA offers the ability to write
+<a class="link" href="ref_guide_mapping_custom.html#ref_guide_mapping_custom_field" title="10.3.&nbsp; Custom Field Mapping">custom field mappings</a> in
+order to have complete control over the mechanism with which fields are stored,
+queried, and loaded from the datastore. Often, however, a custom mapping is
+overkill. There is often a simple transformation from a Java field value to its
+database representation. Thus, OpenJPA provides the externalization service.
+Externalization allows you to specify methods that will externalize a field
+value to its database equivalent on store and then rebuild the value from its
+externalized form on load.

+You can externalize a field to virtually any value that is supported by
+OpenJPA's field mappings (embedded relations are the exception; you must declare
+your field to be a persistence-capable type in order to embed it). This means
+that a field can externalize to something as simple as a primitive, something as
+complex as a collection or map of entities, or anything in
+between. If you do choose to externalize to a collection or map, OpenJPA
+recognizes a family of metadata extensions for specifying type information for the
+externalized form of your fields - see <a class="xref" href="ref_guide_meta_ext.html#type" title="4.2.6.&nbsp; Type">Section&nbsp;4.2.6, &#8220;
+                    Type
+                &#8221;</a>. If the
+external form of your field is an entity object or contains entities, OpenJPA 
+will correctly include the objects in its persistence-by-reachability 
+algorithms and its delete-dependent algorithms.

+Externalization often takes simple constant values and transforms them to
+constant values of a different type. An example would be storing a <code class="classname">
+boolean</code> field as a <code class="classname">char</code>, where <code class="literal">true
+</code> and <code class="literal">false</code> would be stored in the database as
+<code class="literal">'T'</code> and <code class="literal">'F'</code> respectively.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+OpenJPA allows you to define these simple translations in metadata, so that the
+field behaves as in <a class="link" href="ref_guide_pc_scos.html#ref_guide_pc_extern" title="6.5.&nbsp; Externalization">full-fledged
+externalization</a> without requiring externalizer and factory methods.
+External values supports translation of pre-defined simple types (primitives,
+primitive wrappers, and Strings), to other pre-defined simple values.

+Use the OpenJPA
+<a class="ulink" href="../javadoc/org/apache/openjpa/persistence/ExternalValues.html" target="_top">
+<code class="classname">org.apache.openjpa.persistence.ExternalValues</code></a>
+annotation to define external value translations. The values are
+defined in a format similar to that of <a class="link" href="ref_guide_conf_plugins.html" title="4.&nbsp; Plugin Configuration">
+configuration plugins</a>, except that the value pairs represent Java and
+datastore values. To convert the Java boolean values of <code class="literal">true</code>
+and <code class="literal">false</code> to the character values <code class="literal">T</code> and

+Eager fetching is the ability to efficiently load subclass data and related
+objects along with the base instances being queried. Typically, OpenJPA has to
+make a trip to the database whenever a relation is loaded, or when you first
+access data that is mapped to a table other than the least-derived superclass
+table. If you perform a query that returns 100 <code class="classname">Person</code>
+objects, and then you have to retrieve the <code class="classname">Address</code> for
+each person, OpenJPA may make as many as 101 queries (the initial query, plus
+one for the address of each person returned). Or if some of the <code class="classname">
+Person</code> instances turn out to be <code class="classname">Employee</code>s,
+where <code class="classname">Employee</code> has additional data in its own joined
+table, OpenJPA once again might need to make extra database trips to access the
+additional employee data. With eager fetching, OpenJPA can reduce these cases to
+a single query.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+Eager fetching only affects relations in the active fetch groups, and is limited
+by the declared maximum fetch depth and field recursion depth (see
+<a class="xref" href="ref_guide_fetch.html" title="7.&nbsp; Fetch Groups">Section&nbsp;7, &#8220;
+            Fetch Groups
+        &#8221;</a>). In other words, relations that would
+not normally be loaded immediately when retrieving an object or accessing a
+field are not affected by eager fetching. In our example above, the address of
+each person would only be eagerly fetched if the query were configured to
+include the address field or its fetch group, or if the address were in the
+default fetch group. This allows you to control exactly which fields are eagerly
+fetched in different situations. Similarly, queries that exclude subclasses
+aren't affected by eager subclass fetching, described below.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+Eager fetching has three modes:
+        </p>
+        <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
+                <p>
+<code class="literal">none</code>: No eager fetching is performed. Related objects are
+always loaded in an independent select statement. No joined subclass data is
+loaded unless it is in the table(s) for the base type being queried. Unjoined
+subclass data is loaded using separate select statements rather than a SQL UNION
+operation.
+                </p>
+            </li><li class="listitem">
+                <p>
+                <a class="indexterm" name="d5e12902"></a>
+<code class="literal">join</code>: In this mode, OpenJPA joins to to-one relations in the
+configured fetch groups. If OpenJPA is loading data for a single instance, then
+OpenJPA will also join to any collection field in the configured fetch groups.
+When loading data for multiple instances, though, (such as when executing a
+<code class="classname">Query</code>) OpenJPA will not join to collections by default.
+Instead, OpenJPA defaults to <code class="literal">parallel</code> mode for collections,
+as described below. You can force OpenJPA use a join rather than parallel mode
+for a collection field using the metadata extension described in
+<a class="xref" href="ref_guide_mapping_ext.html#eager-fetch-mode" title="9.2.1.&nbsp; Eager Fetch Mode">Section&nbsp;9.2.1, &#8220;
+                    Eager Fetch Mode
+                &#8221;</a>.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+                <a class="indexterm" name="d5e12910"></a>
+Under <code class="literal">join</code> mode, OpenJPA uses a left outer join (or inner
+join, if the relations' field metadata declares the relation non-nullable) to
+select the related data along with the data for the target objects. This process
+works recursively for to-one joins, so that if <code class="classname">Person</code> has
+an <code class="classname">Address</code>, and <code class="classname">Address</code> has a
+<code class="classname">TelephoneNumber</code>, and the fetch groups are configured
+correctly, OpenJPA might issue a single select that joins across the tables for
+all three classes. To-many joins can not recursively spawn other to-many joins,
+but they can spawn recursive to-one joins.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+Under the <code class="literal">join</code> subclass fetch mode, subclass data in joined
+tables is selected by outer joining to all possible subclass tables of the type
+being queried. As you'll see below, subclass data fetching is configured 
+separately from relation fetching, and can be disabled for specific classes.
+                </p>
+                <div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3>
+                    <p>
+Some databases may not support outer joins. Also, OpenJPA can not use
+outer joins if you have set the <a class="link" href="ref_guide_conf_jdbc.html#openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary" title="6.2.&nbsp; openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary">
+<code class="literal"> DBDictionary</code></a>'s <code class="literal">JoinSyntax</code> to
+<code class="literal">traditional</code>. See <a class="xref" href="ref_guide_dbsetup_sql92.html" title="6.&nbsp; Setting the SQL Join Syntax">Section&nbsp;6, &#8220;
+            Setting the SQL Join Syntax
+        &#8221;</a>.
+                    </p>
+                </div>
+            </li><li class="listitem">
+                <p>
+                <a class="indexterm" name="d5e12928"></a>
+<code class="literal">parallel</code>: Under this mode, OpenJPA selects to-one relations
+and joined collections as outlined in the <code class="literal">join</code> mode
+description above. Unjoined collection fields, however, are eagerly fetched
+using a separate select statement for each collection, executed in parallel with
+the select statement for the target objects. The parallel selects use the
+<code class="literal">WHERE</code> conditions from the primary select, but add their own
+joins to reach the related data. Thus, if you perform a query that returns 100
+<code class="classname">Company</code> objects, where each company has a list of
+<code class="classname">Employee</code> objects and <code class="classname">Department</code>
+objects, OpenJPA will make 3 queries. The first will select the company objects,
+the second will select the employees for those companies, and the third will
+select the departments for the same companies. Just as for joins, this process
+can be recursively applied to the objects in the relations being eagerly
+fetched. Continuing our example, if the <code class="classname">Employee</code> class
+had a list of <code class="classname">Projects</code> in one of the fetch groups being
+loaded, OpenJPA would execute a single additional select in parallel to load the
+projects of all employees of the matching companies.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+Using an additional select to load each collection avoids transferring more data
+than necessary from the database to the application. If eager joins were used
+instead of parallel select statements, each collection added to the configured
+fetch groups would cause the amount of data being transferred to rise
+dangerously, to the point that you could easily overwhelm the network.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+Polymorphic to-one relations to table-per-class mappings use parallel eager
+fetching because proper joins are impossible. You can force other to-one
+relations to use parallel rather than join mode eager fetching using the
+metadata extension described in <a class="xref" href="ref_guide_mapping_ext.html#eager-fetch-mode" title="9.2.1.&nbsp; Eager Fetch Mode">Section&nbsp;9.2.1, &#8220;
+                    Eager Fetch Mode
+                &#8221;</a>.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+Parallel subclass fetch mode only applies to queries on joined inheritance
+hierarchies. Rather than outer-joining to
+subclass tables, OpenJPA will issue the query separately for each subclass. In
+all other situations, parallel subclass fetch mode acts just like join mode in
+regards to vertically-mapped subclasses.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+When OpenJPA knows that it is selecting for a single object only, it never uses
+<code class="literal">parallel</code> mode, because the additional selects can be made
+lazily just as efficiently. This mode only increases efficiency over <code class="literal">
+join</code> mode when multiple objects with eager relations are being loaded,
+or when multiple selects might be faster than joining to all possible
+subclasses.
+                </p>

+You can specify a default subclass fetch mode for an individual class with the
+metadata extension described in <a class="xref" href="ref_guide_mapping_ext.html#subclass-fetch-mode" title="9.1.1.&nbsp; Subclass Fetch Mode">Section&nbsp;9.1.1, &#8220;
+                    Subclass Fetch Mode

+Note, however, that you cannot "upgrade" the runtime fetch mode with your class
+setting. If the runtime fetch mode is <code class="literal">none</code>, no eager

+            </p>
+            <p>
+This applies to the eager fetch mode metadata extension as well (see

+            
+            <p>
+There are several important points that you should consider when using eager
+fetching:
+            </p>
+            <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
+                    <p>

+                    <a class="indexterm" name="d5e12993"></a>
+When you are using <code class="literal">parallel</code> eager fetch mode and you have
+large result sets enabled (see <a class="xref" href="ref_guide_dbsetup_lrs.html" title="10.&nbsp; Large Result Sets">Section&nbsp;10, &#8220;
+            Large Result Sets
+        &#8221;</a>)
+or you place a range on a query, OpenJPA performs the needed parallel selects on
+one page of results at a time. For example, suppose your <code class="literal">
+FetchBatchSize</code> is set to 20, and you perform a large result set query
+on a class that has collection fields in the configured fetch groups. OpenJPA
+will immediately cache the first <code class="literal">20</code> results of the query
+using <code class="literal">join</code> mode eager fetching only. Then, it will issue the
+extra selects needed to eager fetch your collection fields according to
+<code class="literal">parallel</code> mode. Each select will use a SQL <code class="literal">IN
+</code> clause (or multiple <code class="literal">OR</code> clauses if your class has a
+compound primary key) to limit the selected collection elements to those owned
+by the 20 cached results.
+                    </p>
+                    <p>
+Once you iterate past the first 20 results, OpenJPA will cache the next 20 and
+again issue any needed extra selects for collection fields, and so on. This
+pattern ensures that you get the benefits of eager fetching without bringing
+more data into memory than anticipated.
+                    </p>
+                </li><li class="listitem">
+                    <p>
+Once OpenJPA eager-joins into a class, it cannot issue any further eager to-many
+joins or parallel selects from that class in the same query. To-one joins,
+however, can recurse to any level.
+                    </p>
+                </li><li class="listitem">
+                    <p>
+Using a to-many join makes it impossible to determine the number of instances
+the result set contains without traversing the entire set. This is because each
+result object might be represented by multiple rows. Thus, queries with a range
+specification or queries configured for lazy result set traversal automatically

+The standard JPA runtime environment was originally just 
+<span class="emphasis"><em>local</em></span> and 
+<span class="emphasis"><em>online</em></span>. It is <span class="emphasis"><em>local</em></span> in that components
+such as <code class="classname">EntityManager</code>s and queries connect directly to
+the datastore and execute their actions in the same JVM as the code using them.
+It is <span class="emphasis"><em>online</em></span> in that all changes to managed objects must be
+made in the context of an active <code class="classname"> EntityManager</code>. These
+two properties, combined with the fact that <code class="classname">
+EntityManager</code>s cannot be serialized for storage or network transfer,
+made the standard JPA runtime difficult to incorporate into some enterprise and
+client/server program designs.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+JPA has now provided <span class="emphasis"><em>offline</em></span> capability through the 
+detach() and merge() methods on the EntityManager interface. OpenJPA has
+extended this to include additional detach...() and merge...() methods. All of
+these are documented in 
+<a class="link" href="ref_guide_remote.html#ref_guide_detach" title="1.&nbsp; Detach and Attach">Detach and Attach APIs</a>. In addition,
+OpenJPA has added <span class="emphasis"><em>remote</em></span> capability in the form of
+<a class="link" href="ref_guide_event.html" title="2.&nbsp; Remote Event Notification Framework">Remote Commit Events</a>. The following
+sections explain these capabilities in detail.

+In JPA, objects detach automatically when they are serialized or when a
+<a class="link" href="jpa_overview_emfactory_perscontext.html" title="3.&nbsp; Persistence Context">persistence context</a>
+ends. The specification also allows objects to be explicitly detached using
+the following javax.persistence.EntityManager method:

+<pre class="programlisting">

+</pre>
+			<p>
+<a class="ulink" href="../javadoc/org/apache/openjpa/persistence/OpenJPAEntityManager.html" target="_top">

+public &lt;T&gt; T detachCopy(T pc):

+When attaching, OpenJPA uses several strategies to determine the optimal way to
+merge changes made to the detached instance. As you will see, these strategies
+can even be used to attach changes made to a transient instance which was never
+detached in the first place.
+            </p>

+If the instance was detached and <a class="link" href="ref_guide_remote.html#ref_guide_detach_graph" title="1.3.&nbsp; Defining the Detached Object Graph">
+detached state</a> is enabled, OpenJPA will use the detached state to
+determine the object's version and primary key values. In addition, this state
+will tell OpenJPA which fields were loaded at the time of detach, and in turn
+where to expect changes. Loaded detached fields with null values will set the
+attached instance's corresponding fields to null.
+                    </p>

+If the instance has a <code class="literal">Version</code> field,
+OpenJPA will consider the object detached if the version field has a non-default
+value, and new otherwise.  Similarly, if the instance has 
+<code class="literal">GeneratedValue</code> primary key fields, OpenJPA will consider the
+object detached if any of these fields have non-default values, and new 
+otherwise.
+                    </p>
+                    <p>
+When attaching null fields in these cases, OpenJPA cannot distinguish between a
+field that was unloaded and one that was intentionally set to null. In this
+case, OpenJPA will use the current <a class="link" href="ref_guide_remote.html#ref_guide_detach_graph" title="1.3.&nbsp; Defining the Detached Object Graph">
+detach state</a> setting to determine how to handle null fields: fields that
+would have been included in the detached state are treated as loaded, and will
+in turn set the corresponding attached field to null.

+                </li><li class="listitem">
+                    <p>
+If neither of the above cases apply, OpenJPA will check to see if an instance

+considered detached. Otherwise, it is considered new.

+These strategies will be assigned on a per-instance basis, such that during the
+attachment of an object graph more than one of the above strategies may be used.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+If you attempt to attach a versioned instance whose representation has changed
+in the datastore since detachment, OpenJPA will throw an optimistic concurrency
+exception upon commit or flush, just as if a normal optimistic conflict was
+detected. When attaching an instance whose database record has been deleted
+since detaching, or when attaching a detached instance into a manager that has a
+stale version of the object, OpenJPA will throw an optimistic concurrency
+exception from the attach method. In these cases, OpenJPA sets the <code class="literal">
+RollbackOnly</code> flag on the transaction.

+When detached objects lose their association with the OpenJPA runtime, they also
+lose the ability to load additional state from the datastore. It is important,
+therefore, to populate objects with all the persistent state you will need
+before detaching them. While you are free to do this manually, OpenJPA includes
+facilities for automatically populating objects when they detach.

+When the detached state field is enabled, the OpenJPA enhancer adds an
+additional field to the enhanced version of your class. This field of type
+<code class="classname">Object</code>. OpenJPA uses this field for bookkeeping
+information, such as the versioning data needed to detect optimistic concurrency
+violations when the object is re-attached.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+It is possible to define this detached state field yourself. Declaring this
+field in your class metadata prevents the enhancer from adding any extra fields
+to the class, and keeps the enhanced class serialization-compatible with the
+unenhanced version. The detached state field must not be persistent. See
