[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-179?page=comments#action_57796 ] Lawrence Jones commented on BEEHIVE-179: ----------------------------------------
You may not have a choice. As we go forward there are going to be sets of standard annotations which a custom control author may wish to use but which are not defined with PropertySet on them. In this particular case the TypesJarName is something that is intrinsic to the development of the Service Control - if you want to change it you will probably at the same time need to change the source code of the JCX. I don't want anyone who is not the JCX developer to be capable of changing this. Specifically I don't want authors of the control client or administrators to be able to set this property by calling setters. > context.getControlPropertySet() should return null for non-existent annotation > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: BEEHIVE-179 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-179 > Project: Beehive > Type: Bug > Components: Controls > Versions: V1Beta > Environment: Windows > Reporter: Lawrence Jones > Assignee: Kyle Marvin > Priority: Critical > > I call > ServiceControl.TypesJarName typesJarNameAnn = > (ServiceControl.TypesJarName)context. > getControlPropertySet(ServiceControl.TypesJarName.class); > in the Impl of my control (ServiceControl).
