Description

The series of states marked with "read field with active datastore transaction" (element 14 of the "transitions" field of org.apache.jdo.tck.lifecycle.StateTransitions) asserts that accessing a field of a deleted instance will throw an exception. However, this is not mandated by the spec, only suggested that it might happen. Section 5.5.6 reads: "Any other access to persistent fields is not supported and might throw a JDOUserException".

The only easy fix is to just remove the "read field with active datastore transaction" test specifications.
