Matthew T. Adams updated JDO-615:
---------------------------------
Attachment: type.patch
Naming comment. I suggest renaming ComponentMetadata to TypeMetadata.
"Component" is much more overloaded term than "type", IMHO: anything can be a
component (class, widget, service, system, subsystem, etc), but classes and
interfaces are types. See patch.
Sorry for not getting to this so late in the game.

> 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.
