Custom Value Types (VALUE OBJECTS) and the annotation @Value

[Ezequiel Celiz]

Hi community

I'm trying to implement the annotation @Value in my application to use the
"Value Objects" as defined in the concept of DDD .

I had no success : How I can set my class as a genuine Custom Value Type?
so that it can be used in the entities that require it.

I want to create the classic VO : "Contact" which consists of the following
properties ( in my case) :

Address, Telephone and Email.

    @Value ( semanticsProviderName = "
 ContactValueSemanticsProvider.class " )
    public class Contact  {

    / *
    / Need to the builder?
    /
    / Public Contact ( String a, String t , String e) {
    / This.address = a;
    / This.telephone = t;
    / This.email = e ;
    / }
    /
    / *

    private String address ;

    public String getAddress ( ) {
        return address ;
    }

    public void setAddress (String address) {
        this.address = address ;
    }

    private String telephone ;

    getTelephone public String ( ) {
        return telephone ;
    }

    public void setTelephone (String telephone) {
        this.telephone = telephone ;
    }

    private String email ;

    getEmail public String ( ) {
        return email ;
    }

    public void setEmail (String email ) {
        this.email = email ;
    }

 }

where ContactValueSemanticsProvider.class :
public final class ContactValueSemanticsProvider
extends AbstractValueSemanticsProvider <Conctact> {}

Then I wonder if the entity would have to have an attribute :

    private Contact contact ;

    public GetContact ( ) {
        return contact ;
    }

Finally in the service when I creating the entity object :

   SomeEntity public newEntity (
            @ Optional
            @ Named ( " Address" ) String address,
            @ Optional
            @ Named ( " Telephone" ) String telephone ,
            @ Optional
            @ Named ( " email " ) String email
            ) {

   final Contact contact

            / / The correct way to instantiate is THROUGH
newTransientInstance ( Contact.class ) ?

            pourContacter (contact) ;

 @ Hidden
 SomeEntity public pourContacter ( ) (
            Final Contact Contact
        ) {
        SomeEntity end someEntity = newTransientInstance ( SomeEntity.class
) ;
        someEntitity.setContact (contact) ;
        persistIfNotAlready ( someEntity ) ;

        someEntity return ;
    }

It is the right way? or the way to work with the Value Object in ISIS is
another?

I welcome your suggestions
Thank you very much as always for your attention
Cheers !
