Create an AnnotationProvider pipeline
-------------------------------------
Key: TAP5-509
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-509
Project: Tapestry 5
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: tapestry-ioc
Affects Versions: 5.0.18
Reporter: Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo
Priority: Minor
An AnnotationProvider pipeline would provide two very nice features:
* The possibility of converting one annotation into another. This could easily
allow for Tapestry-IoC recognize Spring or EJB or Guice dependency-injection
annotations, for example.
* The possibility to easily add annotations to classes, fields and methods that
do not have them. Example: use of JPA and Hibernate Validator annotations to
provide BeanEditor/BeanEditForm validation without using @Validate on the
entity classes. Maybe we need an specialized validation pipeline, as JPA
annotations (@Column(nullable= false), for example) would add one validation
rule, but Hibernate Validator (@Email) would provide another validation rule,
not overwriting the first one.
