             Summary: Spec update to clarify whether methods that are documented to be hints must not throw exceptions
                 Key: JDO-759
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-759
             Project: JDO
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: specification
    Affects Versions: JDO 3.1
            Reporter: Michael Bouschen
             Fix For: JDO 3.2


If an implementation does not support the method, it should not throw an exception. But if the implementation supports the method, and e.g. there is an illegal argument, it is allowed but is not required to throw IllegalArgumentException. It is not allowed to throw an exception simply to report that the method is not supported.
