[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ROASTER-44) Support writing of nested annotation arrays

[Matt Benson (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ROASTER-44?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13019511#comment-13019511 ] 

Matt Benson commented on ROASTER-44:
------------------------------------

Okay, I think to manage something this relatively complex warrants a new interface. What about something like:

1.
{code}
interface AnnotationArray<O> {
  Annotation<O>[] getValues();
}
interface AnnotationArraySource<O> extends AnnotationArray<O> {
  void setName(String className);
  AnnotationSource<O>[] getValues();
  AnnotationSource<O> addValue();
}
{code}

2. modify {{Annotation}}:
{code}
@Deprecated
Annotation<O>[] getAnnotationArrayValue();

@Deprecated
Annotation<O>[] getAnnotationArrayValue(String name);

AnnotationArray<O> getAnnotationArray();
AnnotationArray<O> getAnnotationArray(String name);
{code}

3. modify {{AnnotationSource}}:
{code}
@Deprecated
AnnotationSource<O>[] getAnnotationArrayValue();

@Deprecated
AnnotationSource<O>[] getAnnotationArrayValue(String name);

AnnotationArraySource<O> getAnnotationArray();
AnnotationArraySource<O> getAnnotationArray(String name);
{code}

> })
> @Entity
> public class Customer  {...}
> {code}
