[jira] [Commented] (BEANUTILS-406) DynaClassReader to read DynaClass definitions from a DSL
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-406?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanelfocusedCommentId=13602219#comment-13602219 ] Benedikt Ritter commented on BEANUTILS-406: --- Michael, I still didn't have the time to take a close look at your proposal. From a very brief look, there are a few things I'd like to discuss: * When talking about a DSL for describing DynaClasses, we should also think about how we want to define the DSL itself. In your proposal the language definition is only implicit in the code of the reader. XML provides a good infrastructure for defining new document formats. Maybe it would be better to create a DynaClass.xsd. This has the advantage of already available tool support (for parsing, aswell as for designing new DynaClass XML files) * Unit tests could just use equals on DynaClasses, DynaBeans and DynaProperties (instead of comparing properties). I'll try to have a look at the equals implementations of the affected classes and how equals is implemented. For future contributions the following should be taken into account: * Please don't use tabs. Use spaces to indent code. * Please put a new line at the end of each file * Please don't use the @author tag. Your name will be listed in the contributors section of pom.xml * Please make sure every file includes the Apache Licence header Thanks a lot for your interest in BeanUtils :) DynaClassReader to read DynaClass definitions from a DSL -- Key: BEANUTILS-406 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-406 Project: Commons BeanUtils Issue Type: New Feature Components: DynaBean Affects Versions: 1.8.3 Reporter: Michael Vorburger Assignee: Benedikt Ritter Fix For: LATER THAN 1.8.4 Attachments: 0002-BEANUTILS-406-DynaClassReader-to-read-DynaClass-defi.patch It could sometimes be very useful to create DynaClass definitions not only programmatically (as is possible today), but to define data structures in some textual format (a DSL), and load that into DynaClass/DynaProperty and create DynaBeans from that.

Oliver is also working on some new features (BEANUTILS-425 and BEANUTILS-428) so I think we will release a 1.9.

This was a while ago.. ;) Personally I've moved on since then to EMF which thanks to http://wiki.eclipse.org/Xcore now offers something very similar. Unfortunately many people (unjustifieldy!) still think of EMF as an Eclipse technology only (when, actually, if runs just fine standalone), and my impression has been that Bean Utils Dyna Beans, though dated, appears to still be better known within the Java community at large.
