[eclipselink-dev] Meeting Minutes: MOXy Mapping Metadata Design Review

All,

Following are the meeting minutes from the design review:

Decisions:
  • Converters - since we already support converter functionality through XmlAdapter we will not add any additional support at this time
  • Overloading 'name' to add extended support is not acceptable;  we do not want to recommend/support invalid attribute/element content like '[' which would be invalid WRT the RI
  • Overloading element wrapper would involve improper usage (as with XmlAttribute and single-valued properties); we will need a different was to support path-based mappings
    • One suggestion would be to introduce the concept of an "xml-node" that would be used to create a mapping with an xpath and other settings
  • Null value - no need to support this now as xml-element already has the concept of default-value
    • If customer's require this we may need to support it in the future
    • An adapter/customizer could potentially be used to handle the default null value
Action Items:
  • Dave M. - add converter support as a future consideration on the design wiki
  • Dave M. - add default null value support as a future consideration on the design wiki
  • Dave M. - determine if there is a customer requirement for setting a default value on an attribute

All,

For EclipseLink 2.1 we will support JAXB 2.1 annotations via XML external metadata file.  In addition, we will provide an extension of our JAXB metadata support that will allow MOXy mappings to be configured through the external mapping file.   I'd like to have a meeting to review the requirements and high-level design for this feature.  For people in Ottawa we'll meet in conference room 4048.  The dial-in information is below. 

The design doc is available here:
