[jira] Updated: (JDO-615) MetaData specification API

["Matthew T. Adams (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-615?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Matthew T. Adams updated JDO-615:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: type.patch

Naming comment.  I suggest renaming ComponentMetadata to TypeMetadata.  "Component" is much more overloaded term than "type", IMHO:  anything can be a component (class, widget, service, system, subsystem, etc), but classes and interfaces are types.  See patch.

Sorry for not getting to this so late in the game.

> We can specify MetaData via XML or annotations. The only way missing is via an API. I propose mirroring the XML structure with interfaces of the form
> public interface MetaData
> {
>     addExtension(String key, String value);
>     removeExtension(String key, String value);
>     ...
> }
> public interface FileMetaData
> {
>     addPackage(PackageMetaData pmd);
>     ...
> }
> public interface PackageMetaData
> {
>     addClass(ClassMetaData cmd)
>     ...
> }
> public interface ClassMetaData
> {
>     addField(FieldMetaData fmd)
>     ...
> }
> public interface FieldMetaData
> {
>     setInheritance(InheritanceMetaData inhmd)
>     ...
> }
> and so on.
> We would then require a method on the PMF to register the metadata.
> If there are no objections to such a feature I'll propose a patch to try to provide all current JDO2 capabilities.
