Re: [eclipselink-dev] questions while running JPA JUnit tests

Hi Dies,

  FYI: I am working on integrating your initial patch.  There are a couple of 
items I will not be integrating at the moment:

1. Specific references to SymfowarePlatform and isSymfowarePlatform().  These 
will be left until SymfowarePlatform becomes part of the full product

2. Changes to default SEQUENCE table name to "\"SEQUENCE\"" for our Sessions and 
project XML (in XMLSessionConfigProject, ObjectPersistenceRuntimeXMLProject and 
 SequencingConfig).  This is simply to big a backward compatibility risk since 
I cannot test these changes on every database platform that EclipseLink is run 
on by our customers.  I am looking for some way of having this information 
stored on the DatabasePlatform, but at the moment, it is not looking good. 
Assuming I do not find a good solution, Symfoware users will simply have to 
explicitly set these items when using our proprietary configuration code 
(sessions.xml and deployment.xml)  We will also have to address anywhere in the 
tests we choose to run where this is an issue.

I am in the process of running testing on the other changes and I'll let you 
know when it gets checked in.
