      Subject: [eclipselink-dev] Initial 
      patch for bug 249037: JPA 2.0 persistinglist item index is available for 
      review.
      
      
       
      What's in the fix:
       
      1. Ordered list field support for 
      DirectCollectionMapping, AggregateCollectionMapping, OneToOne, OneToMany, 
      UnidirOneToMany, ManyToMany.
      2. List order field deemed to be updatable for all 
      mappings except AggregateCollectionMapping - in that case there's a choice 
      of updatable (may alter the field value in the db using UPDATE) and not 
      updatable (must perform first DELETE, then INSERT).
      3. Support for fetch joins and batch 
      reading.
      4. Support for deferred and atribute change tracking (no 
      attr. change tracking for AggregateCollectionMapping).
      5. Fixed setting of a new collection with attribute 
      change tracking (both with and without list order field);
      6. In ComplexUpdateTest changed shouldCompareClone 
      = true. Fixed models,derived tests that used to failed.
      7. Moved orderBy support from ReadAllQuery up to 
      ObjectLevelreadQuery (required for listOrderField 
      support).
      8. Added core tests.
       
      What is not done yet.
      
      1. No functionality to find and fix "holes" in order in 
      the db;
2. No functionality yet to query by order 
      index; 
      3. No JPA support (neither feature nor 
      tests)
      
      4. No duplicate support - except 
      DirectCollectionMapping.
5. Some exceptions to be 
      added. 
      6. No support yet for list order field in secondary 
      table (SALARY table for Employee class).
       
      Please send any feedback you may have.
       
      Thanks,
       
      Andrei
