Sharmarke Aden created AVRO-1205: ------------------------------------ Summary: Add Stereotype Annotation to Generated Beans Key: AVRO-1205 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1205 Project: Avro Issue Type: New Feature Components: java Affects Versions: 1.7.2 Reporter: Sharmarke Aden Priority: Minor
Avro generated schema beans currently lack a formal way of distinguishing them as Avro schema beans at runtime. I would like to propose that a new stereotype annotation be added to Avro Core and the ability to have all Avro generated schema beans annotated with this newly created stereotype annotation. I'm planning on adding a FallbackTypeConverter to the Camel-Avro project and I hoping this feature will allow me to cleanly detect Avro beans for conversion at runtime. If this feature is implemented Avro schema beans would look something like this: {code} ... @org.apache.avro.reflect.AvroSchema public class User extends org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificRecordBase implements org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificRecord { ... } ... {code} The maven plugin configuration would look something like this: {code} <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.avro</groupId> <artifactId>avro-maven-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>schema</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> <stereotype>true</stereotype> </configuration> </plugin> {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
