MetaData specification API
--------------------------
Key: JDO-615
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-615
Project: JDO
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Andy Jefferson
Fix For: JDO 2 maintenance release 3
We can specify MetaData via XML or annotations. The only way missing is via an
API. I propose mirroring the XML structure with interfaces of the form
public interface MetaData
{
addExtension(String key, String value);
removeExtension(String key, String value);
...
}
public interface FileMetaData
{
addPackage(PackageMetaData pmd);
...
}
public interface PackageMetaData
{
addClass(ClassMetaData cmd)
...
}
public interface ClassMetaData
{
addField(FieldMetaData fmd)
...
}
public interface FieldMetaData
{
setInheritance(InheritanceMetaData inhmd)
...
}
and so on.
We would then require a method on the PMF to register the metadata.
If there are no objections to such a feature I'll propose a patch to try to
provide all current JDO2 capabilities.
