Sure that's a good idea. We had discussed this some time ago. The novelty is that we can now use annotations so we can use runtime annotations for this. I'm +1 for it. I don't think it should cause performance issues. Thanks -Vincent _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
