Hi all,

I'm trying to use Roster 2.4.0.Final to manipulate generated Java code at one of my customers. There are features that I miss, and I don't know if it's because it's missing, or I don't know how to do it :

* Remove an attribute in an annotation. Let's say I have @Table(name = "myTable", schema = "mySchema"), I want to be able to remove the schema attribute and end up with @Table(name = "myTable")

* Change the value of an attribute in an annotation. Let's say I have @OneToMany (fetch = LAZY) and I want to change LAZY to EAGER. I know how to get this value (ValuePair.getName() and ValuePair.getStringValue()) but I don't know how to set a new value (I was expecting something like ValuePair.setStringValue())

* Is there a way to only get the accessors ? At the moment source.getMembers() returns the attributes + getters/setters, source.getFields() only returns the attributes and source.getMethods() returns all the methods. It would be nice to have sources.getAccessors() and that will return only the accesors

* Indent code : the code I have in input is not well indented. I would love to have a method like source.indent()

* Generate Getters/Setters/Hascode/Equals/toString : it would be great to have a set of methods to do the trick. Something like source.generateSetters, source.generateEquals

Let me know if I'm missing somethings here, if some are out of the scope of Roaster and if some make sense and are missing I'll create a few JIRAs

I had created two JIRAs for that :

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ROASTER-4

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ROASTER-5 (looks like this one is done)

Hey Antonio,

I'm relatively certain that we don't support Generic types on method parameters yet, but we do support them on Types and Methods themselves via the GenericCapableSource interface.

Looks like we need to add this to Parameters. Could you add a feature request for this? Thanks!

Hi,

Still playing with Roaster so I could fix https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1618 (Command constraint-new-validator to create a new validator implementation). I don't know how to do two things (nicely) :

# Parameterize interface

For a constraint, I need to implement a parametrize interface like this :

public class MaxValidatorForString implements ConstraintValidator<Max, Number> {

The only way I could find is passing a String :

final JavaClassSource javaClass = Roaster.create(JavaClassSource.class);
javaClass.setName("MaxValidatorForString");
javaClass.addImport(ConstraintValidator.class);
javaClass.addInterface("ConstraintValidator<Max, Number>");

It's a shame because with addInterface(Class), it does the import automatically and things are more typed. But I cannot add types :

final JavaClassSource javaClass = Roaster.create(JavaClassSource.class);
javaClass.setName("MaxValidatorForString");
javaClass.addInterface(ConstraintValidator.class);

It would be good to have something like :

javaClass.addInterface(ConstraintValidator.class).addType(Max.class).addType(Number.class);

# Typed parameters

My isValid method takes two parameters. And the only way to add two parameters seems to be by a String

javaClass.addMethod().setPublic().setName("isValid").setReturnType("boolean").setParameters("Number value, ConstraintValidatorContext context").setBody("return false;").addAnnotation(Override.class);

Again, it would be nice to have typed parameters so the import is implicit, and things are a bit more typed :

javaClass.addMethod().setPublic().setName("isValid").setReturnType("boolean").addParameter(Number.class, "value").addParameter(ConstraintValidatorContext.class, "context").setBody("return false;").addAnnotation(Override.class);

So I'm just wondering if I'm missing something or this is not implemented yet on Roaster
