| Take a look at the first field in the first column (transient) and first row (makePersistent). This field means that if PersistenceManager.makePersistent is called with an instance, which state is transient, the resulting state is persistent-new . To keep the table short, not all operations are explicitly listed. For instance, PersistenceManager.makePersistentAll(Collection c) and PersistenceManager.makePersistentAll(Object[] o) have the same effect on instances contained in the collection or array, just as makePersistent() has on a single instance. The same is true for deletePersistent , makeTransient , makeTransactional , and makeNontransactional , respectively. If a field is marked "Error!", the corresponding operation on an instance is not allowed and causes a JDOUserException to be thrown. The state will not change. If a field is marked " Impossible ", the operation cannot be performed on an instance because the initial state is not reachable . For instance, there are no instances that have the state persistent-new outside of active transactions, so "read fields outside of active transactions" cannot be performed. If a " “" (dash) appears in a field, the state does not change. Table A-1.
