[jira] [Commented] (CAMEL-3496) camel-bindy - Make it easier to use by getting rid of List

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-3496?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13264915#comment-13264915 ] 

Claus Ibsen commented on CAMEL-3496:
------------------------------------

Made it a bit better as you can specify the class type directly instead of the package, which makes it stand out which type you use.
The problem with 2+ models in the same package still stands. But that takes much more work to fix.

>             Project: Camel
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: camel-bindy
>    Affects Versions: 2.5.0
>            Reporter: Claus Ibsen
>            Assignee: Claus Ibsen
>             Fix For: 3.0.0

> 1)
> The bindy API is unfortunately a bit cumbersome because it stores its result in a {{List<Map<String, Object>>}} structure. 
> Instead it should store the object directly in the {{List<Object>}}
> End users would expect this instead of the cumbersome API.
> 2)
> Also the marshal and unmarshal operators should take an optional class name so you know which class to use in case you use a package which has other @CsvRecord classes in the same package. Then you can tell Camel to use this class in case of ambiguity.
> 3)
> And if you use multiple objects for one @Record we should introduce an option on the @Record to mark the class as the *top* class (the starting class).
> 4)
> And the source code could use a bit of love here and there, and most likely add more checks and throw better exceptions so end users better understand what would be wrong.
> This will break backwards comp. so let's try to do this for Camel 3.0
