DynaClassReader to read DynaClass definitions from a "DSL"
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: BEANUTILS-406
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-406
Project: Commons BeanUtils
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: DynaBean
Affects Versions: 1.8.3
Reporter: Michael Vorburger
It could sometimes be very useful to create DynaClass definitions not only
programmatically (as is possible today), but to define data structures in some
textual format (a "DSL"), and load that into DynaClass/DynaProperty and create
DynaBeans from that.
This isn't very hard to add to BeanUtils (I've done it and will attach a patch)
and would allow the following usage, given:
{noformat}Address {
zip: java.lang.Long
}
Employee {
firstName : java.lang.String
lastName :java.lang.String
mainAddress : Address
boss : Employee
subordinates : Employee *
address : Address <>
}{noformat}
one could then use the new proposed DynaClassReader like so:
{noformat}DynaClassReader r = new DynaClassReader();
r.readClasspathResource("/DynaClassReaderTest.domain.txt");
DynaClass klass = r.getDynaClass("Employee");
{noformat}
This requires BEANUTILS-405.
