Rob Godfrey commented on QPID-7066:
-----------------------------------
# is a bug - will fix
# is consistent with the other valid value style errors, so I am minded not to
change
# So this would require checking in the annotation processor I think - it's be
weird only to throw an error on startup. I considered adding a check but
decided it would be of low value - the error is the programmer attempting to
add invalid meta data. I'll have a look at how hard it would be to add to the
annotation processor
# As discussed offline, you've raised QPID-7141 for this issue
> [Java Broker] Add a validValuePattern attribute to ManagedAttribute
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: QPID-7066
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-7066
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Java Broker
> Reporter: Rob Godfrey
> Assignee: Rob Godfrey
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: qpid-java-6.1
>
>
> Currently there is no way to convey through meta data that an attribute value
> must conform to a particular pattern (for instance in the case of a hostname
> or ip address).
> Where a managed attribute is of type String, the regex can be used both
> client and server side to validate the input. Client side validation will
> also always need to take into account that it is always legal to insert a
> context variable reference into the value... and where such a context
> injection is present is is effectively impossible to correctly validate on
> the client side.
> For attributes which are of type Collection<String>, List<String> or
> Set<String> the validValuePattern can be taken to be referring to the
> validation applied to each element of the collection.
> The annotation information should also be conveyed through the metadataservlet
