Tom Davis updated THRIFT-3818:
------------------------------
Component/s: Java - Library
> Annotations for easier extension
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-3818
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3818
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Java - Compiler, Java - Library
> Reporter: Tom Davis
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, there are two ways to extend a Java implementation of a Thrift
> spec: modify the compiler source code or write classes that wrap the existing
> Java library. The former requires maintaining a fork of Thrift while the
> latter doesn't allow meaningful changes to, e.g., struct or service classes.
> I propose modifying the compiler to include additional annotations to Thrift
> types ({{ThriftService}}, {{ThriftStruct}}, etc.) This change would allow
> much easier extension of generated classes through the use of annotation
> processors. Happy to supply a patch if it's a desirable improvement. Thanks!
