Please check out the two attached classes: Clazz and Field. These are client
APIs only. Nothing is said about where the metadata is coming from - that's
to come later.
Here are some notes on the design of these two classes:
1. Clazz is a metadescription of a generalized bean (JDK bean, "modern"
bean, DynaBean, Map, EJB etc).
2. In some cases there is more than one Clazz that can describe a particular
object. For example, the same object can be described as a standard bean as
well as a "modern" bean. Therefore I have introduced the notion of a
"model" identified by a URI. I am thinking the URI itself might map to a
verbal description of the model.
3. Clazz has a newInstance() method that is responsible for object
allocation.
I looked at the API stuff. I think there is an awful lot of extra stuff.
KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
Let's follow the java.lang.reflect.* as much as possible. Provide a
getClass() method to get the original class. Provide a getMethod() for
the AttributeMethod from the clazz. That sort of thing.
