Hi Thomas, I didn't understand very well the question in your poll.

Anyway when you talk about the marshalling, do you mean an annotation that know how to manage how to serialize persistent collection ?? 

In a way, are you talking about the problem that frameworks like Gilead try to solve ??

Hi,

during experiments extending a generated aerogear application I found that
  - the current integration of JSON via Jackson is kinda creative hack
  - not easily portable to recent releases of Jackson (see above)
  - does not make use of annotation driven UI/ser/deserializ. processing

During my investigations on upgrade possibilities to modern Jackson I realized, that Errai is a very powerful and complete framework well worth being featured
in Forge's scaffold.
As I am not really deep into Jackson/JSON/Rest yet I would like to ask for your opinion on this.

Another question regarding use of annotations in a scaffold:
Especially regarding modern Errai/Jackson annotations are an easy means to control the UI / (De-)Serialization, e.g. when working with entities, I think it is
necessary to use persistence-based entity instantiation before deserialization, to avoid loss of data if an incomplete entity is desrialized and persisted by
merge().

Do you think it acceptable to actively insert annotations into entity code - possibly by a scaffold command like "scaffold applyAnnotations"?

In my opinion this could provide interesting best practice propagation for novices like me.

Thanks,
Thomas
