AnnotationMemberTypes.Decimal.places() should have new default value
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: BEEHIVE-892
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-892
Project: Beehive
Type: Improvement
Components: Controls
Versions: V1
Reporter: Zach Smith
Assigned to: Mike Foster
Priority: Minor
Currently AnnotationMemberTypes.Decimal.places() has a default value of '0'
which in my opinion causes some unecessary work on the part of the Controls
developer. If a developer sets an AnnotationMemberTypes.Decimal and neglects
to set places() greater than '0' no decimal places can be used (fails checks at
compile time). This does not seem intuitive to me given that a Decimal by very
nature has a decimal place assumed. I propose that one of three things be done
with places()
1. Set it in a way such that it represents unlimited decimal places (limited by
the system, anyway)
2. If the main use case for this is currency consider setting places() default
value to '2' (however this could be confusing as well and perhaps a
BasicCurrency type should be created with this value)
3. Do away with 'places()' all together and leave it to the developer to
programatically restrict decimal values.
