[news.eclipse.rt.eclipselink] Re: Refreshing objects with @Transient fie

[james.sutherland@xxxxxxxxxx (James )]

Looking at the code, this appears to a bug.  The PostLoad event should be 
called on the clone.  The issues is that PostLoad is translated into the 
EclipseLink Descriptor events, PostRefresh and PostClone, however 
PostRefresh is not called on the clone in a refresh in a UnitOfWork when 
outside of an early transaction (but it should be).  It is also odd that 
PostBuild does not also trigger a PostLoad, as this would be required for 
read-only objects.

Please log a bug for this.

As a workaround if you register for the Descriptor event PostMerge, you 
should get this event in your refresh.  You can register for the event 
using a DescriptorCustomizer to configure the DescriptorEventManager of 
the ClassDescriptor.
