-------------------------------------

             Summary: Use of Injector-specific annotation and @Optional results in required-value
                 Key: SLING-7187
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7187
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Extensions
    Affects Versions: Sling Models Impl 1.4.4
            Reporter: Justin Edelson
             Fix For: Sling Models Impl 1.4.6


If there is a model class like

{code}
    @Model(adaptables = Resource.class)
    public class ModelClass {

        @ValueMapValue
        private String otherText;

        @Override
        public String getOtherText() {
            return otherText;
        }

        @ValueMapValue
        @Optional
        private String emptyText;

        @Override
        public String getEmptyText() {
            return emptyText;
        }
    }
{code}

It would be a reasonable expectation that the {{emptyText}} field will be optional. But that is not actually the case since the {{@ValueMapValue}} has a default {{optional}} attribute of {{false}}.

Can be worked around by using {{@ValueMapValue(optional = true)}} instead of having the separate {{@Optional}} annotation.
