Re: [eclipselink-users] Can I use eclipselink to get the differences bet

["Magnus Heino" <magnus@xxxxxxxxx>]

This seems to be impossible since ContainerPolicy.compareCollectionsForChange that will be called by DeferredChangeDetectionPolicy to compare collections is using a IdentityHashMap. Correct?

If you wish to go under the covers a little their is an API,
DeferredChangeDetectionPolicy.createObjectChangeSetThroughComparison(), that
will return an ObjectChangeSet listing the changes between the two objects.

Is it possible to make it consider @OneToMany mappings also?

It will report a difference no matter what I put into the @OneToMany set, even if the objects themself are equal if passed into the  createObjectChangeSetThroughComparison method.

I would like to work with a object graph rather than with individual objects.

Under the covers api's are not a problem.

I currently do it like this:

    @Autowired
    private JpaEntityManager entityManager;

    private final ObjectChangePolicy objectChangePolicy = new DeferredChangeDetectionPolicy();

    public ObjectChangeSet compare(final AbstractEntity original, final AbstractEntity copy) {
        ObjectChangeSet objectChangeSet = this.objectChangePolicy.createObjectChangeSetThroughComparison(original, copy,
            (UnitOfWorkChangeSet) this.entityManager.getUnitOfWork().getCurrentChanges(), false, (AbstractSession) this.entityManager
                .getActiveSession(), this.entityManager.getActiveSession().getDescriptor(original.getClass()));

        return objectChangeSet;
    }

Thanks!
