Matthias Albert created GROOVY-8323:
---------------------------------------
Summary: @XmlSeeAlso annotation using Java syntax leads to groovy
compiler error
Key: GROOVY-8323
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8323
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Compiler
Affects Versions: 2.4.12
Reporter: Matthias Albert
According to Oracle Java documentation, it should be possible to use JAXB with
the @XmlSeeAlso annotaion as follows:
{{
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSeeAlso
@XmlSeeAlso({Dog.class,Cat.class})
class Animal {}
class Dog extends Animal {}
class Cat extends Animal {}
}}
Running a groovy script containing the above code, results in a compiler error
message:
{{
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
<subdir>\myscript.groovy: 3: expecting '}', found ',' @ line 3, column 23.
@XmlSeeAlso({Dog.class,Cat.class})
^}}
Apparently, the class arguments are expected to be enclosed in square brackets
[...].
My main question is:
It is possible, that this valid java code cannot be compiled by the groovy
compiler?
My background is:
I am writing a groovy script that uses java files generated by the xjc compiler
from an XML schema file. They cannot be modified manually. I would like to
compile these files by the groovy compiler using a CompilerConfiguration and
adding 'java' to the scriptExtensions.
Thanks in advance.
Matthias
