---------------------------------
Summary: Annotations for easier extension
Key: THRIFT-3818
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3818
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Java - Compiler
Reporter: Tom Davis
Priority: Minor
Currently, there are two ways to extend a Java implementation of a Thrift spec:
modify the compiler source code or write classes that wrap the existing Java
library. The former requires maintaining a fork of Thrift while the latter
doesn't allow meaningful changes to, e.g., struct or service classes.
I propose modifying the compiler to include additional annotations to Thrift
types ({{ThriftService}}, {{ThriftStruct}}, etc.) This change would allow much
easier extension of generated classes through the use of annotation processors.
Happy to supply a patch if it's a desirable improvement. Thanks!
