Sharmarke Aden created AVRO-1205:
------------------------------------
Summary: Add Stereotype Annotation to Generated Beans
Key: AVRO-1205
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1205
Project: Avro
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.7.2
Reporter: Sharmarke Aden
Priority: Minor
Avro generated schema beans currently lack a formal way of distinguishing them
as Avro schema beans at runtime. I would like to propose that a new stereotype
annotation be added to Avro Core and the ability to have all Avro generated
schema beans annotated with this newly created stereotype annotation.
I'm planning on adding a FallbackTypeConverter to the Camel-Avro project and I
hoping this feature will allow me to cleanly detect Avro beans for conversion
at runtime.
If this feature is implemented Avro schema beans would look something like this:
{code}
...
@org.apache.avro.reflect.AvroSchema
public class User extends org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificRecordBase
implements org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificRecord {
...
}
...
{code}
The maven plugin configuration would look something like this:
{code}
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.avro</groupId>
<artifactId>avro-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>schema</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<stereotype>true</stereotype>
</configuration>
</plugin>
{code}
