["Alexander Falb (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Alexander Falb created OPENJPA-2800:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: StateManager field in enhanced entities are not "synthetic"
                 Key: OPENJPA-2800
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2800
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Enhance
    Affects Versions: 2.4.3
            Reporter: Alexander Falb
         Attachments: image-2020-01-15-08-12-02-066.png

I'm using reflection to do various things on an entity-class during my unit tests. Because my tests are not interested in any of OpenJPAs internals, I'm trying to skip any field generated during enhancement. Basically I skip every field with where [Field#isSynthetic|[https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/reflect/Field.html#isSynthetic--]] is true. The pcStateManager however does not have the flag ACC_SYNTHETIC set:
{code}
$ javap -verbose MyEntity.class
[...]
  protected transient org.apache.openjpa.enhance.StateManager pcStateManager;
    descriptor: Lorg/apache/openjpa/enhance/StateManager;
    flags: ACC_PROTECTED, ACC_TRANSIENT
[...]
{code}

Screenshot from my debugger:

According to the [JVM Specs|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.7.8]
{quote}[...]A class member that does not appear in the source code must be marked using a Synthetic attribute, or else it must have its ACC_SYNTHETIC flag set.[...]{quote}

Is this flag intentionally not set?
