Clement Escoffier commented on FELIX-1941:
------------------------------------------
Hello,
What you're asking is just to add the @Inherited meta-annotation on @Requires
(and others annotations) ?
Is it something like that ?
@Inherited
public @interface Requires {
...
}
However, this will not enables the superclass injection. Supporting component
implementation class inheritance is on the roadmap, but is still not started.
Regards,
Clement

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1941
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: iPOJO
> Affects Versions: iPOJO-1.4.0
> Reporter: Allen Hackley
>
> Take the following scenario.
> - Class A and Class B have the same superclass: Class C
> - Class C has one or more fields common to both A and B, to minimize having
> to write redundant code.
> - Classes A and B are declared to be component types.
> - iPOJO currently will not perform field injection on any of the inherited
> fields within Class A or Class B, even if Class C is also a component type
> that explicitly exposes those fields.
> - This results in having to write some combination of xml/annotations/java
> for each individual inherited field, within each individual subclass of C,
> which defeats the purpose of avoiding redundant code.
> I have written my own implementation of @Requires that is identical to the
> original, with the exception of the @Inherited annotation, and this seems to
> solve the above problem. It would be nice if it were integrated into the
> iPOJO core.
