Also as Kiran pointed out in his response, what if the contained elements are
kept in a single attribute like this ads-compositeElement ?
AFAIR, the 'ads-compositeElement' was introduced as kind of "quick hack" to
ease the work on the reader class. I really think we can get rid of it easily with the
annotation system.
ads-compositeElement has been created at the origin as a way to tell the
reader that the element is a composite element. The reader was supposed
to be completely generic, ie the java Beans could have been generated
automatically (except that because it requires the development of a
maven plugin, something I didn't want to do).
Now that you have defined some @, sure this is redondant, but if someone
decide to define a reader/writer in another language, then this element
is probably necessary.
It will just be an annoyance for people who will use @ instead, and
forgot to add this ads-compositeElement AT in the entries that need it.
I wouls suggest that you relax the writer/reader to take care of this
case if an @ is used instead.
