StateTransitionsReturnedObjects disallows makePersistent() on a detached-cle
an instance from being hollow
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key: JDO-428
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-428
Project: JDO
Issue Type: Bug
Components: tck20
Affects Versions: JDO 2 final
Reporter: Marc Prud'hommeaux
Priority: Minor


Element 10 (0-based) of the "makePersistent" array in org/apache/jdo/tck/lif
ecycle/StateTransitionsReturnedObjects.java asserts that a detached-clean in
stance passed to makePersistent() should have the resulting object be in the
 "persistent-clean" state.
However, section 12.6.7 of the JDO 2 spec merely says that: "During applicat
ion of changes of the detached state, if the JDO implementation can determin
e that there were no changes made during detachment, then the implementation
 is not required to mark th
e corresponding instance dirty." Based on this, it should be legal for the o
bject to be in either the hollow state as well as the persistent-clean state
.

The easiest fix, short of changing the test case to allow for multiple state
s, is to change element 10 from "PERSISTENT_CLEAN" to "IMPOSSIBLE", which wi
ll disable the state check altogether.
