improve the WSM annotation processor to be more Mirror-like and use less
reflection
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: BEEHIVE-752
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-752
Project: Beehive
Type: Improvement
Components: Web Services (181)
Versions: V1Alpha, V1Beta, V1
Reporter: Eddie O'Neil
Fix For: TBD
The current WSM annotation processor is obviously JDK 5.0 APT based. In its
implementation, though, it uses a cross between reflection and Mirror to do
annotation processing. The result is that with this style project:
src/
Service.java
Account.java
where the WSM annotated web service "Service.java" imports the "Account" class,
the .class file must exist on disk in order for the annotations to be
processed.
The result is that WSM projects need to be structured as:
src/
Account.java
src-ws/
Service.java
so that the src/ directory can be built before src-ws/ to ensure that the
.class files for required types are available before annotation processing.
One of the goals of Mirror is to allow annotations in source files to be
processed so that the .class files need not exist. A nice improvement to the
WSM annotation processor would be to remove the dependence on reflection and
replace it with Mirror-only annotation processing.
We should address this at some point after the next Beehive release...
