Question about JIRA JDO 54

[Michael Watzek <mw...@spree.de>]

Hi Craig, Michelle

JIRA JDO-54 requests that "in order to test metadata for interfaces, we 
need to complete the Company model interfaces that was begun with 
ICompany.java. All company classes should implement a corresponding 
interface."

If we want the getter/setter methods to return/take interface types, 
then we would also have to use interface types for the types of fields, 
e.g.

public class Company
     implements Serializable, Comparable, DeepEquality, ICompany {
...
     private IAddress     address;
...
     public IAddress getAddress() {
         return address;
     }
...
     public void setAddress(IAddress address) {
         this.address = address;
     }
...
}

In this case the metadata of JDO and ORM would also have to be adapted, 
right?

Regards,
Michael

Hi, Michael,

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think it is necessary to change 
the classes, other than to make them implement an interface.  They don't 
need to take or return the interface types. The Address getter in 
ICompany.java returns Address, for example.
