Jess--
Heh...that's a pretty interesting problem. After looking at the
repro, it seems like this is the case that doesn't work:
src/
a/
FooControl.java
FooControlImpl.java
b/
FooControl.java
FooControlImpl.java
ControlClient.java
where ControlClient has something like:
@Control
private FooControlBean _fooControl;
If I understand this correctly, the problem is that the
ControlClientAnnotationProcessor takes a best guess when it can't find
an exact match for the name of the Control's interface type.
An "interfaceHint" attribute would allow the AP a chance to resolve
the type if the type isn't otherwise available from the field's
declaration. The above example would then look something like:
@Control(interfaceHint=a.FooControl.class)
private FooControlBean _fooControl;
This would give the AP an "out" (if you will) to handle cases like that above.
I'm fine making this addition -- thoughts from anyone else?
