VOTE Issue 136: Remove attachCopy from specification

Javadogs,

This is the specification update to implement Issue 136, which  
removes attachCopy and changes the signature of makePersistent to  
return the instances made persistent.

Please comment.
<proposed 12.6.7>
Make instances persistent
Object makePersistent (Object pc);
Object [] makePersistentAll (Object[] pcs);
Collection makePersistentAll (Collection pcs);
A12.5.7-6A [These methods make transient instances persistent and  
apply detached instance changes to the cache. They must be called in  
the context of an active transaction, or a JDOUserException is  
thrown.] A12.5.7-6B [For a transient instance, they will assign an  
object identity to the instance and transition it to persistent-new.]  
Any transient instances reachable from this instance via persistent  
fields of this instance will become provisionally persistent,  
transitively. That is, they behave as persistent-new instances  
(return true to isPersistent, isNew, and isDirty). But A12.5.7-6C [at  
commit time, the reachability algorithm is run again, and instances  
made provisionally persistent that are not currently reachable from  
persistent instances will revert to transient.]
For a detached instance, they locate or create a persistent instance  
with the same JDO identity as the detached instance, and copy the  
persistent state of the detached instance to the persistent instance.  
Only the state of persistent fields is copied. If non-persistent  
state needs to be copied, the application should use the  
jdoPostAttach callback or the postAttach lifecycle event listener.  
Any references to the detached instances from instances in the  
closure of the parameter instances are modified to refer to the  
corresponding persistent instance instead of to the detached instance.
During application of changes of the detached state, if the JDO  
implementation can determine that there were no changes made during  
detachment, then the implementation is not required to mark the  
corresponding instance dirty. A12.6.8-28 [If it cannot determine if  
changes were made, then it must mark the instance dirty.]
No consistency checking is done during makePersistent. If consistency  
checking is required by the application, then flush or  
checkConsistency should be called after attaching the instances.
A12.5.7-7 [These methods have no effect on parameter persistent  
instances already managed by this PersistenceManager.] A12.5.7-8  
[They will throw a JDOUserException if the parameter instance is  
managed by a different PersistenceManager.]
A12.6.7-1 [If an instance is of a class whose identity type  
(application, datastore, or none) is not supported by the JDO  
implementation, then a JDOUserException will be thrown for that  
instance.]
The return value for instances in the transient or persistent states  
is the same as the parameter value. The return value for detached  
instances is the persistent instance corresponding to the detached  
instance.
The return values for makePersistentAll methods correspond by  
position to the parameter instances.</proposed 12.6.7>

<proposed 12.6.8 to be deleted>
Attaching Instances
Object attachCopy(Object detached, boolean makeTransactional);
Collection attachCopyAll(Collection detached, boolean  
makeTransactional);
Object[] attachCopyAll(Object[] detached, boolean makeTransactional);
This method applies the changes contained in the collection of  
detached instances to the corresponding persistent instances in the  
cache and returns a collection of persistent instances that exactly  
corresponds to the parameter instances. A12.6.8-25 [The order of  
instances in the parameter Collection’s iteration corresponds to the  
order of corresponding instances in the returned Collection’s  
iteration.]
A12.6.8-26 [Changes made to instances while detached are applied to  
the corresponding persistent instances in the cache.] A12.6.8-27  
[Transient instances associated with the detached instances are  
copied and the copies are added to the persistent instances in the  
corresponding place.]
During application of changes, if the JDO implementation can  
determine that there were no changes made during detachment, then the  
implementation is not required to mark the corresponding instance  
dirty. A12.6.8-28 [If it cannot determine if changes were made, then  
it must mark the instance dirty.]
A12.6.8-29 [The makeTransactional flag, if set to true, requires the  
implementation to mark transactional the persistent instances  
corresponding to all instances in the closure of the detached graph.]
No consistency checking is done during attachment. If consistency  
checking is required by the application, then flush or  
checkConsistency should be called after attaching the instances.
Transient instances in the parameter list are treated the same as  
transient instances reachable from parameter instances. That is, a  
copy of each such instance is made persistent.
Each instance to be attached must be a transient or detached instance  
of a persistence-capable class; or of a class identified in the JDO  
metadata as detachable. A12.6.8-30 [If an instance that is not is  
attempted to be attached, a JDOUserException is thrown with a nested  
JDOUserException for each such instance.]
If a persistent instance is reachable in the closure of instances to  
be attached, a JDOUserException is thrown with a nested  
JDOUserException for each instance that references any such  
persistent instance.
</proposed 12.6.8 to be deleted>

<proposed 12.15>
package javax.jdo.listener;
public interface AttachLifecycleListener
	extends InstanceLifecycleListener {
A12.15-13 [void preAttach(InstanceLifecycleEvent event);
}
This method is called before a detached instance is attached, via the  
makePersistent method. The source instance is the detached instance.  
This method is called before the corresponding jdoPreAttach on the  
detached instance.]
A12.15-14 [void postAttach(InstanceLifecycleEvent event);
}
This method is called after a detached instance is attached. The  
source instance is the corresponding persistent instance in the  
cache; the target instance is the detached instance. This method is  
called after the corresponding jdoPostAttach on the persistent  
instance.]
</proposed 12.15>

These are the previous contents of the above updates.

void makePersistentAll (Object[] pcs);
void makePersistentAll (Collection pcs);A12.5.7-6A [These methods

the context of an active transaction, or a JDOUserException is  
thrown.] A12.5.7-6B [They will assign an object identity to the

instances reachable from this instance via persistent fields of this

Vote in favor.

It would be nice to have a brief sentence in the spec declaring our 
intent re: backward compile-time but not run-time compatibility between 
JDO 2.0 and JDO 1.0.
