don't understand EnumeratedAttribute fully.
In response to a suggestion of Steve Loughran the other day, I've
implemented all of my new attributes with the convention that a value
of "" means "Don't set the attribute - leave the default value in
place". This was to accomodate Steve's suggestion of wanting
property-file driven scripts.
Such a script would define
<property name="timestampGranularity" value=""/>
An optional property file could define
timestampGranularity=MINUTE
or
timestampGranularity=NONE.
If neither specified, the default to be used (whose value varies
depending on the chosen action).
I'm having difficulty understanding how this convention would fit into
the pattern of EnumeratedAttribute. There may be such a way that I'm
just not understanding. I'm still open to whatever suggestions you
might have on this score or alternative ideas to improve this code.
Hello Steve,
in this case, you can say that "" == TIMESTAMPGRANULARITY_DEFAULT
and document that DEFAULT is different depending upon the action put or
get ?
Cheers,
Antoine
