The javax.jdo.spi Package

The javax.jdo.spi package defines interfaces used by JDO implementations. Your application should not use the interfaces in this package. However, a few interfaces in this package are useful for you to be aware of, as they are directly responsible for managing the state of persistent instances.

PersistenceCapable

The PersistenceCapable interface allows an implementation to manage the values of fields and the lifecycle state of persistent instances. Every instance managed by a PersistenceManager needs to be of a class that implements PersistenceCapable. When you enhance a persistent class, code is added to the class to implement the PersistenceCapable interface.

You should not directly use the PersistenceCapable methods added by the enhancer. Some of its methods provide information useful to your application; these methods are made accessible to you through the JDOHelper and PersistenceManager interfaces.

StateManager

Every persistent and transactional instance has a reference to a StateManager instance. (Chapter 13 covers transactional instances.) A StateManager interfaces with the PersistenceManager and is responsible for managing the values of fields and state transitions of an instance. (Chapter 11 covers state transitions.)

JDOPermission

The JDOPermission class is used to grant the JDO implementation permission to perform privileged operations if you have a Java security manager in your Java runtime environment. JDOPermission extends java.security.BasicPermission ...
