FieldsOfSimpleClass now passes. JPOX latest now supports serialised PC field
s
and serialised Interface fields.

The only thing stopping FieldsOfSimpleInterface passing is probably that JPO
X
doesn't support embedded interface fields. I don't consider this a mandatory
part of JDO2. Embedded interface fields are basically the same as embedded P
C
fields where the embedded PC field can have inheritance. That is, with
embedded interface fields you can have different objects being embedded
(different interface implementations) and hence different columns can be
needed in the table. The same is true with embedded PC fields where the PC
object has inheritance, and so different columns needed dependent on the
object being embedded. Since the current JDO2 spec doesn't support having
discriminators as part of the <embedded> block then the JDO impl has no way
of distinguishing the type of the object that has been embedded.

Hi Craig,

I only checked in changes to FieldsOfSimpleClass before I left for
vacation last Friday, not FieldsOfSimpleInterface or FieldsOfObject.  I
plan to get started on the latter two today.
