-----------------------------------------
Good catch Andreas,
would you provide a patch to fix that issue? Patches are welcome and people are
invited on taking participation in the development - just submit a patch to
JIRA and I will be more than pleased to apply it!
Many thanks in advance,

> 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 for annotated rules was very helpful for me, but is very
> simple and doesn't cover multi annotated rules.
