[OJB-developers] ODMG question

[<Joa...@tp...>]

Hy,

I've got a question about ODMG. As I don't have the ODMG-Specification 
(yet), I don't know wether the problem that I have is caused by my lack of 
knowledge of how ODMG is supposed to work or if it is a real bug. 

I have an object of type SomeContainer that contains a List of other 
objects (let's say, they are of type SomeStuff). Now I place a upgrad-lock 
on the SomeContainer-Object, after I've aquired it from the Database. ODMG 
goes around and places a lock on all objects referenced by the 
SomeContainer object (directly and via collection). Just fine up to here. 
Now I add an object to the list of SomeStuff-objects. When I call commit 
now, should ODMG store the object and add a reference to the list or is it 
the job of the programmer to explicitely lock the new object?

anyone can help?

btw, does anyone know wether the ODMG-Standard is actually readable as a 
reference or if it is typical ISO/ANSI/IEEE-standard-language (i.e. 
totally useless for reference-purpose)?
