Alex McCullough commented on APEXCORE-528:
------------------------------------------
Because when no annotations are added the OutputPortMeta.portAnnotation is
null, it can't find the defaults to populate.
Is there any issue with using reflection to populate defaults when no explicit
annotation value is provided? Then you can just have standard logic and not
worry about null objects and such.
> Output Ports Not Optional by Default During Validation
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: APEXCORE-528
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-528
> Project: Apache Apex Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.4.0
> Reporter: Alex McCullough
> Assignee: Alex McCullough
> Priority: Minor
>
> The 'optional' OutputPortFieldAnnotation states that the default value is
> true. When you build a DAG with multiple output ports the validator throws an
> error telling you at least one must be connected. To fix, you must explicitly
> add the annotation to all output ports and set the value to True, which is
> supposed to already be the default.
