[Springframework-developer] OJB PB Support: Why only partial?

[Clute, A. <And...@os...>]

Since the release of 1.1RC2, I have been attempting to retrofit Spring
into my system and remove my EJB's. We make heavy use of OJB's
PersistenceBroker API, and as such, I was hoping to utilize the
PersistenceBrokerDaoSupport, with the PersistenceBrokerTemplate.=20

However, it seems that PersistenceBrokerTemplate only supports a subset
of the methods that PB has on it, with the three major missing ones
being findObjectByIdentity, getReportQueryIteratorByQuery and
getClassDescriptor.

Was there a conscious decision to leave these methods out, or was it
just an oversight/timing issue? I would be happy to implement these
methods and submit the changes back to the group, but I wanted to
confirm that there wasn't a specific reason for leaving these off.

Thanks!
