[news.eclipse.rt.eclipselink] Re: Updating an entity using reflection do

[james.sutherland@xxxxxxxxxx (James )]

By default when using weaving/agent EclipseLink uses attribute change 
tracking to detect changes.  This will not detect changes made through 
reflective field access (method access is ok though).

You can change the default using the @ChangeTracking annotation to 
deferred which will detect change made through reflection.
i.e.
@ChangeTracking(ChangeTrackingType.DEFERRED)

http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/api/1.1.2/org/eclipse/persistence/annotations/ChangeTracking.html

You could also disable weaving, or weaving of change tracking in the 
persistence.xml using,

"eclipselink.weaving.changetracking"="false"
