query to return shared data ?

[Gustav Trede <gu...@telia.com>]

hello,

Im interested in helping openjpa to implement that query can return 
shared objects from the cache.
My personal goal is to switch from eclipselink to openjpa.

On many usage cases its only of interest to read data, no need to get a 
clone/copy then.
(and yes its up to the user to not actually edit the returned data.)

This exists in eclipselink and works good, QueryHints.READ_ONLY.

Could i please get some initial help,  where to do this in the code base 
in a nice way ?.

regards
