Michael Bolz commented on OLINGO-32:
------------------------------------
Hi together,
I admit Georgi with the practical aspect and I admit Chandan with the part of
_not mixing JPA and EDM (to much)_.
My suggestion is to add all necessary (Java) annotations for
creation/annotation of an EDM model into the common {{odata2-api-annotation}}
module. Currently there are only the additional extensions for the JPA
annotations. If their are all necessary annotations for a EDM model the JPA
processor _could_ use them to allow a better specification of the model for
those parts where the JPA annotations are not suitable. As is currently for the
{{Facets}} and {{FunctionImport}} annotations.
I already created a proposal therefore in the _PocEdmAnnotationsExtension_
branch which I wanted to push and discuss the last days. But I have to clean it
up a little bit and hence it will take time till tomorrow before I really can
push it.
But if pushed I hope we can discuss it and find a good solution so that we can
merge it into the main branch (and hopefully into the next release).
Kind regards,
Michael

> Project: Olingo
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Michael Bolz
> Assignee: Michael Bolz
> Priority: Minor
>
> The idea is to create your model as POJOs which then can be annotated with
> special {{@EdmXXX}} (Java) annotations to define the EDM for an OData Service.
> Based on these annotation then the {{edmx}} document ({{$metadata}}) can be
> generated as well as a generic {{Processor}} ({{ODataSingleProcessor}}) for
> e.g. {{JSON}} can be written.
> As initial contribution and starting point for discussions about this feature
> a branch with name {{PocEdmAnnotationsExtension}} is created with a basic
> Proof of Concept.
