Antonio Goncalves created FORGE-1880: ---------------------------------------- Summary: Adding @Named to an EJBs... or any annotation anywhere Key: FORGE-1880 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1880 Project: Forge Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Java EE Affects Versions: 2.6.0.Final Reporter: Antonio Goncalves Fix For: 2.x Future When I create an EJB with Forge with the following command : {code} ejb-new-bean --named MyService {code} I get the following : {code} @Stateless @LocalBean public class MyService implements Serializable {code} In some cases, I would need to add an extra {{@Named}} annotation. Several ways to do it. On the EJB command itself, we could add a parameter : {code} ejb-new-bean --named MyService --addNamed {code} But I think it would be good to have something more generic that could be used anywhere. We could use the same logic as constraint-add (that adds any kind of constraint on any Entity) and have something like {code} cdi-add-qualifier --qualifier Named --target org.app.service.MyService // or on a property, which could be useful cdi-add-qualifier --qualifier Named --onProperty myProp cdi-add-qualifier --qualifier Named --onMethod myMethod {code} Or something even more generic would be to use the Java command {code} java-add-annotation --annotation javax.inject.Named --target org.app.service.MyService java-add-annotation --annotation javax.inject.Named --target org.app.service.MyService --onProperty myProp java-add-annotation --annotation javax.inject.Named --target org.app.service.MyService --onMethod myMethod java-add-annotation --annotation javax.inject.Named --onProperty myProp java-add-annotation --annotation javax.inject.Named --onMethod myMethod {code} _Comments on the mailing list by Ivan_ _I think that java-add-annotation is a good command that we should have. But still it would be better to have also something more explicit for creating named beans and setting stereotypes. So, I think that the three levels of abstraction that Antonio described may be implemented. Well, at the end they will reuse one and the same code for adding annotation, so no repeating ourselves will occur._ -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2.6#6264)
