--------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
I think this would be somewhat clunky and inconsistent to use. If you'd like to
submit a patch, feel free to reopen.
> Create an "include" annotation

> Key: THRIFT-636
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-636
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler (Java)
> Reporter: Nathan Marz
> Priority: Minor
>
> The intention of this idea is to minimize the amount of typing necessary to
> navigate thrift structures. The idea is to be able to "include" a field
> within a struct, like so (I don't know the syntax of Thrift annotations but
> this is the idea):
> struct B {
> 1: required i32 f1;
> 2: required i32 f2;
> }
> struct A {
> 1: @include required B b;
> 2: required i32 field2;
> }
> If we have an instance of A named "a", we can access the inner B's fields by
> saying "a.get_f1()".
> There's the obvious problem of name conflicts, but I think it's fine to leave
> it to the programmer to make sure the code is safe.
