Michael Douglas updated THRIFT-761:
-----------------------------------
Issue Type: Improvement (was: New Feature)
> Include the symbolic name of a typedef field in the field metadata [patch]
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-761
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-761
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler (Java)
> Affects Versions: 0.2
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Michael Douglas
> Fix For: 0.3
>
> Attachments:
> v1-0001-THRIFT-761.-java-Include-typedef-name-in-field-value-metadata.patch
>
>
> The generator of Java code translates all Thrift typedefs to the appropriate
> Java types. This means that the Thrift typedef name (aka symbolic name) is
> being lost during Java code generation.
> The typedef symbolic name should be included in the field value meta data so
> that it is available for those who inspect metadata of their Thrift data
> structures.
> FieldValueMetaData, which is the base class for metadata of field values of
> all types, already has isStruct(), isContainer() and type and is therefore a
> natural choice for this.
> We should introduce isTypedef() and getTypedefName() into class
> FieldValueMetaData.
> A patch is attached.
