Description

Elements 7 and 8 (0-based) of the "serialize with active tx" array in org/apache/jdo/tck/lifecycle/StateTransitionsReturnedObjects.java assert that a persistent-new-deleted and persistent-deleted instance (respectively) will transition to transient when then are serialized then deserialized. However, the specification does not seem to mandate this anywhere: detached-clean should be an equally valid state to be in.

The easiest fix, short of changing the test case to allow for multiple states, is to change elements 7 and 8 from "TRANSIENT" to "IMPOSSIBLE", which will disable the state check altogether.
