Hi Oliver
good point! We are well aware that support for Collection is a wanted
feature, but we did not yet started the discussion ;)
One aspects is also: how the representation on property value side should
be. Basically we can have adapters registered, which convert to a list and
based on the format recursively acquire adapters for the content type. So
we could also do something like:
-
myList={[type=java.util.ArrayList,contentType=java.lang.Integer]1,2,3,4,5}
...or we can just define the type of collection only and let the adapter,
call decide which collection implementation should be returned:
- Lists: myList=[list:a.b.MyNumberType]{1,2,3,4}
- Sets: mySet=[set:Integer]{1,2,3,4}
- Map: myMap=[map:String,Integer]{1,2,3,4}
...or we can just let Tamaya figure out, what it is and help with optional
metadata- entries:
- Lists (default): myList={1,2,3,4}
- Sets: mySet={1,2,3,4} mySet[meta]=type=java.util.Set
- Map: myMap={a:1:,b:2,c:3,d:4} myMap
[meta]=type=java.util.ConcurrentHashMap,valueType=java.lang.Integer
Or...
- your creativity is required...
