-----------------------------------------
Summary: Inner List Annotation has wrong @Target for most of the
predefined annotation rules
Key: DIGESTER-174
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIGESTER-174
Project: Commons Digester
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.2
Reporter: Andreas Sahlbach
See documentation "Applying multiple annotation rule of the same type"
The inner annotation should be usable as a wrapper for the outer annotation, to
apply several rules to one element. Therefore the inner annotation has to have
the very same defined @Target annotations as the outer annotation. This is not
the case for most of the rules, making them practically useless.
Example:
@BeanPropertySetter - its @Target is ElementType.Field
but its inner List
@BeanPropertySetter.List - its @Target is ElementType.Type
The only place where this is correct are the Create Rules, which are the
annotations from the documentation.
May I suggest to create a test case or example for a multi annotation rule? The
provided example was very helpful for me, but is very simple.
