[Richard Kennard (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-447?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12662904#comment-12662904 ] 

Richard Kennard commented on FORGE-447:
---------------------------------------

I think I get what Pete is asking for, but it's going to be pretty domain-specific. As Pete mentioned, it could be a URL, or a byte[], or a File, and even then you'll probably need a special annotation to help distinguish it.

Instead, I was planning to resolve this by using it as an example in the 'how to customize the scaffold generation' documentation. To do that, I'll need the override folder.

> Often a data model will include a reference to a media type, such as a photo. It would be good for Forge to scaffold at least the output of this based on the media type. Common types would include images (most important), video and sound.
> Considerations include that often the media object is actually referred to by a URL, and not stored in the database, however this is not always true.
