Hello Are there any plans for extending MetaType service in the future specifications? Current implementation is not extensible and we can't use additional proprietary properties.
We would like to have for example custom properties. In XML it is possible to use other namespaces, but it is not possible to access it via MetaTypeService. Custom properties could be for example additional validation properties (inspired from JSR-303). Another thing, there is no way to describe various complex structures, for example arrays with complex structures: user.1.name=John user.1.surname=Parker user.1.age=30 user.2.name=Fred user.2.surname=Flinstone user.2.age=5923 ... The same for maps with complex structures: keyStore.myAlias.pem=xxx keyStore.myAlias.password=xxx keyStore.otherAlias.pem=foo keyStore.otherAlias.password=bar ...and other combinations. ~~~~ Another missing feature is to explicitly provide PID for Configurations created from configuration factory. Currently the PID is generated by the implementation, for Felix it is <factoryPid>.<UUID> but this makes it hard for human to distinguish multiple instances. Also, is there some discussion groups where future specifications are discussed? Thanks in advance BR -- Ing.
