[jira] Commented: (JDO-429) StateTransitionsReturnedObjects assumes that serializing deleted instances will transition them to transient

["Marc Prud'hommeaux (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-429?page=comments#action_12435288 ] 
            
Marc Prud'hommeaux commented on JDO-429:
----------------------------------------

The same goes for element 10 of "serialize outside tx", which asserts that a persistent-nontransactional-dirty instance will become transient after serialize/deserialize, even though the specification seems to never mandate this. detached-clean should be an equally valid assertion.

> Elements 7 and 8 (0-based) of the "serialize with active tx" array in org/apache/jdo/tck/lifecycle/StateTransitionsReturnedObjects.java assert that a persistent-new-deleted and persistent-deleted instance (respectively) will transition to transient when then are serialized then deserialized. However, the specification does not seem to mandate this anywhere: detached-clean should be an equally valid state to be in.
> The easiest fix, short of changing the test case to allow for multiple states, is to change elements 7 and 8 from "TRANSIENT" to "IMPOSSIBLE", which will disable the state check altogether.
