----------------------------------------

             Summary: Explicitly setup in Bean Validation, not in JPA
                 Key: FORGE-1479
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1479
             Project: Forge
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: UI - Shell
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.CR1
            Reporter: Antonio Goncalves
             Fix For: 2.x Future


Just after a creating a project, a create a new entity without setting up the persistence ({{jpa-setup}}) : 

{code}
***SUCCESS*** Project named 'test' has been created.
[test]$ jpa-new-entity --named Author
[Author.java]$ jpa-new-field --named firstname --length 50
***SUCCESS*** Field firstname created
{code}

This hasn't created a {{persistence.xml}} file. But on the other hand, if I want to add a constraint on the entity, I need to explicitelly setup Bean Validation : 

{code}
[Author.java]$ con
connection-profile-create  connection-profile-remove  constraint-setup
[Author.java]$ constraint-setup
***SUCCESS*** Bean Validation is installed.
[Author.java]$ con
connection-profile-create  connection-profile-remove  constraint-add  constraint-setup
[Author.java]$ constraint-add --constraint NotNull --onProperty firstname
***SUCCESS*** Constraint NotNull successfully configured
{code}

if most of the information is giving at project creation, do we still need to explicitly setup Java EE components ? At the moment we have the following :

{code}
servlet-setup
ejb-setup
soap-setup
cdi-setup
jms-setup
rest-setup
jpa-setup
faces-setup
jstl-setup
jta-setup
constraint-setup
{code}

Most of these commands do not have parameters (except for persistence, rest, validation). So why not activate them by default (or only if {{export ACCEPT_DEFAULTS=true}} ) ? Something like : "if the command {{constraint-add}} is entered, Forge would go {{if constraint is not setup, then I invoke constraint-setup}}",  "if the command {{ejb-new}} is entered, Forge would go {{if ejb is not setup, then I invoke ejb-setup}}"

That would save some bugs (developers forgetting to setup things), less typing and shorter scripts.
