  • Construct a PersistenceManagerFactory instance via a Properties object

  • Interrogate the lifecycle state of an instance

  • Get the object identifier of an instance

  • Mark a field of an instance as modified

public class JDOHelper { 
    public                      JDOHelper(  );
    public static Object        getObjectId(Object obj); 
    public static PersistenceManager
                                getPersistenceManager(Object obj);
