<p>If we use the annotations as internal model then the relevant Jandex data will need to be <br/>
converted to annotation literals. Which might require some overhead.</p>

<p>If we use Jandex as the internal model, then we ask the generator to produce Jandex types.<br/>
That means we expose the datastore provider to Jandex types - at least AnnotationInstance and AnnotationValue<br/>
and this model being generic is not type-safe.</p>
</blockquote> I'm thinking if we can re-map the other configuration source all to the DSL definition: if the DSL defines standard bean setters for the option, we invoke them?</p>

<p>In some ways the generator is the getter to get an internal model from the programmatic API.<br/>
So if we have a source X to generator call, we could do that you are describing.</p>

<pre class="code-java">@ToInternalModel(UnsafeConverter.class)
@<span class="code-keyword">interface</span> Unsafe {
    <span class="code-object">boolean</span> value() <span class="code-keyword">default</span> <span class="code-keyword">true</span>;
    <span class="code-keyword">static</span> class UnsafeConverter <span class="code-keyword">implements</span> Convert&lt;Unsafe,MongoDBMappingInternalModelGenerator&gt; {
        void call(Unsafe annotation, MongoDBMappingInternalModelGenerator generator) {
            <span class="code-keyword">return</span> generator.unsafe(annotation.value());

<blockquote>
<p> 1. global options<br/>
 2. XML<br/>
 3. annotations<br/>
 4. programmatic<br/>
 5. runtime: session<br/>
 6. runtime: statement</p></blockquote>

<p>I more or less agree, though XML probably should have precedence over an XML mapping file unless you're<br/>
talking about persistence.xml.</p>

<p>The complex part is when you need to decide the following:</p>

<ul class="alternate" type="square">
        <li>Programmatically or via annotation, I override unsafe for entity Sample.</li>
        <li>on the session, I override the global unsafe setting</li>
</ul>


<p>What is the value for unsafe on Sample?</p></div>
