[jira] Closed: (MNG-5013) Allow to condense configuation of plugin parameter beans that commonly require only one value

["Benjamin Bentmann (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5013?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Benjamin Bentmann closed MNG-5013.
----------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 3.0.3
         Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann

Done in [r1070102|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1070102].

The feature is generally only available on the discretion of the plugin author who needs to implement how the scalar value maps to the overall bean data. To do so, the bean class in question can be equipped with a method named {{set()}} like this:
{code:java}
public class Resource
{

    private File directory;

    public void set( File directory )
    {
        this.directory = directory;
    }

...
}
{code}

> Let's take this example configuration snippet:
> {code:xml}
> <resources>
>   <resource>
>     <directory>src/foo</directory>
>     <filtering>true</filtering>
>   </resource>
>   <resource>src/bar</resource>
> </resources>
> {code}
> Apparently, the last {{<resource>}} element is meant as a shorthand form for {{<resource><directory>src/bar</directory></resource>}}.
> Not only does support for this notation save users a few bits of (sometimes hated) XML but it also provides plugin authors with a smooth upgrade path say when a parameter was initially typed as {{File[]}} but later needs to be extended into {{Bean[]}}.
