Support JAXB style programming for RAR module --------------------------------------------- Key: JBMETA-220 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBMETA-220 Project: JBoss Metadata Issue Type: Task Reporter: Jesper Pedersen Assignee: Jeff Zhang Currently we have standard get- and set- methods, like @XmlElement(name="outbound-resourceadapter") public void setOutboundRa(OutboundRaMetaData outboundRa) { this.outboundRa = outboundRa; } public OutboundRaMetaData getOutboundRa() { return outboundRa; } We should support a JAXB style programming in the RAR module, and thereby creating any objects or lists that doesn't exists in the get-method, like @XmlElement(name="outbound-resourceadapter") public void setOutboundRa(OutboundRaMetaData outboundRa) { this.outboundRa = outboundRa; } public OutboundRaMetaData getOutboundRa() { if (outboundRa == null) outboundRa = new OutboundRa(); return outboundRa; } This will allow an easier merging between the annotation model and the XML model.
