Provide an annotation driven way of declaring protobuf metadata
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ISPN-4359
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-4359
Project: Infinispan
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Marshalling
Affects Versions: 7.0.0.Alpha4
Reporter: Adrian Nistor
Assignee: Adrian Nistor
Labels: jdg
Fix For: 7.1.0.Beta1
The main goal of this is to simply marshalling of java objects to protobuf using the
Protostream library.
Instead of providing a Protostream MessageMarshaller implementation and a proto schema
file it would be nice to have an alternative way of just adding minimal annotations to a
Java class (and its fields) to assist on the fly generation (via reflection) of the proto
schema. The Protostream library should also infer the marshaller so it would not require a
manually implemented one. The annotation should require minimal info (tag number) and the
rest should be inferred based on common sense defaults (protobuf type, java collection
type, collection element type ...) but should be possible to override. The auto-generated
schema should be available to users and they should be able then to use it as reference if
they need it to implement domain model classes and marshallers for other languages.
The user should still be able to specify a manually created schema (besides the annotated
classes) and in that case the Protostream library should check the auto-inferred schema
against the provided one and ensure they match.
