Hi! 1.) Do we like to support arrays at all?
1.a.) yes, in any case. They are really needed. 1.b.) yes, if we can do easily. They are nice to have. But only if easily doable. 1.c.) Nope, we don't need it. A user can easily add this himself by String.split, etc I'd prefer 1.b.) How to support arrays. Do we like to 2.a.) map them to String representation or do we like to 2.b.) have a String[] getArray(String key) in our PropertySource. In that case 2.b.1.) do we like to have String[] getArray(key) in addition to String get(key) or 2.b.2.) only have String[] get(key) and only return a single value in it for a get(key) call? I personally like 2.b.1 the most, but not 100% sure yet. 3.) What type should we return at all? 3.a.) Should we return [] 3.b.) or List? 3.c.) Or even a Set? I'd prefer 3.a or 3.b as the order sometimes is important. We could also think about enhancing the Filter to allow re-sorting those values if needed. We also have to think about at which point we apply the PropertyAdapter. I'd also love to have something like getArray (or getList if we decide on that) <T> T[] getArray(String key), Class<T> targetType); Where each value in the String[] gets converted with the PropertyAdapters already inside Tamaya. Any thoughts? LieGrue, strub
