             Summary: Support value types (simple ones at least) as a 
first-class citizen
                 Key: ISIS-1695
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-1695
             Project: Isis
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Dan Haywood
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.4.0


I would like to reintroduce value types as a first-class citizen, but without 
requiring the developer to have to write lots of code to teach DataNucleus, 
Wicket and the RO viewer about these.

I don't have a general solution in mind on how to do this.

However, for very simple value types that are just a type-safe wrapper around a 
single field (eg Password, or Money, or Temperature, or Email say), then 
perhaps there might be a way to support this, eg :

public class Temperature implements 
org.apache.isis.valuetypes.Value<BigDecimal> { ... }

or

@Value(underlying=BigDecimal.class)
public class Temperature { ... }
