-------------------------------------
Summary: Context-Aware Config: Allow to control property order in
annotation classes
Key: SLING-6374
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-6374
Project: Sling
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Stefan Seifert
Assignee: Stefan Seifert
Priority: Minor
Fix For: Context-Aware Configuration API 1.0.2, Context-Aware
Configuration SPI 1.2.0, Context-Aware Configuration Impl 1.2.0
property metadata is most time defined via annotation classes, which are parsed
at run time to get the configuration metadata. unfortunately the java
reflection API does not provide a way to access the order of methods/properties
as they are defined in the source code.
so we introduce an optional "order" property in the @Property annotation which
allows to control the order.
(an alternative would be to parse the annotation source code files at built
time, generate some metadata files, include them in the bundle and parse the
metadata at run time - but this is too much effort for now, and could still be
added later if needed).
