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

             Summary: Support Meta annotations (e.g. for @AuthorizeInstantiation)
                 Key: WICKET-6691
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-6691
             Project: Wicket
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Kees van Dieren


Would be nice to have Meta annotation support for certain Wicket annotations.

For ex, we have some group of roles that are re-used accross several pages, like so:

{code:java}
@AuthorizeInstantiation({"roleA", "roleB", "roleC"})
 {code}

Now we copy-paste this code across the pages that need them.

Would be nice to be able to define an annotation for that, like so:

{code:java}
@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@AuthorizeInstantiation({"roleA", "roleB", "roleC"})
@Documented
@Inherited
public @interface SomeFeatureAuthorization {}
{code}

Is such a thing already considered? It requires some changes in org.apache.wicket.authroles.authorization.strategies.role.annotations.AnnotationsRoleAuthorizationStrategy probably?

We have other annotations as well in wicket, which also need to be considered if this is seen by community as useful addition.
