Re: DISCUSS remove @Field and @Property; add @Persistent

[Craig L Russell]

One thing we could do is to rename @Field to @Persistent, remove @Property, and allow @Persistent to be used for either fields or properties, equivalently. So there would be no difference in functionality between specifying fields=... and properties=...

So we would have

@interface Embedded {
Persistent[ ] fields();
Persistent[ ] properties();
...

@interface FetchGroup {
Persistent[ ] fields();
Persistent[ ] properties();
...

Usage:

    @Persistent (table="LINES", embeddedElement="true")
    @Join(column="OWNER_FK")
    @Element (
        [EMAIL PROTECTED](
            fields={
                @Persistent(name="point1.x", column="POINT1_X"),
                @Persistent(name="point1.y", column="POINT2_Y"),
                @Persistent(name="point2.x", column="POINT2_X"),
                @Persistent(name="point2.y", column="POINT2_Y")
            }))
    Set<Line> lines;

    @Persistent (embeddedElement="true")
    @Join(column="OWNER_FK")
    @Element (
        [EMAIL PROTECTED](
            properties={
                @Persistent(name="point1.x", column="POINT1_X"),
                @Persistent(name="point1.y", column="POINT2_Y"),
                @Persistent(name="point2.x", column="POINT2_X"),
                @Persistent(name="point2.y", column="POINT2_Y")
            }))
    abstract Set<Line> getLines();

Hi Andy,

Hi Craig,

It might be a good time (as we're almost done with this) to replace @Field and @Property with @Persistent. That would make it easier to

describe that either a field or property is being described.

While I agree totally with merging @Field and @Property, the use of
@Persistent is not appropriate.

@PersistenceCapable
public class MyClass
{
    @Persistent(persistenceModifier=FieldPersistenceModifier.NONE)

This is another anomaly: FieldPersistenceModifier should become PersistenceModifier.

    String someFieldThatIsNotPersistent
}


so I tag a field that is not persistent with @Persistent ?

Doesn't bother me as much as duplicating Field/Property all over.

How about creating a new tag like @NotPersistent. To go along with @Transactional and @Persistent.

Any other idea for name? that suggests field/method/property ?

Craig

Since you agree with the direction, I'll try to plumb the depths of my vocabulary...
