Albert Lee commented on OPENJPA-2405:
-------------------------------------

Per Spec:
====================
3.2.7.1 Merging Detached Entity State
The merge operation allows for the propagation of state from detached entities onto persistent entities
managed by the entity manager.
The semantics of the merge operation applied to an entity X are as follows:
........
• If X is a managed entity, it is ignored by the merge operation, however, the merge operation is
cascaded to entities referenced by relationships from X if these relationships have been annotated
with the cascade element value cascade=MERGE or cascade=ALL annotation.
====================

Merge if for "detached" entity only and if it is "managed", it is IGNORED.....

> EntityManager.merge does not work for entity that is managed by another EntityManager. Instead of updating that entity OpenJPA tries to persist the entity a second time
