[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SEAMXML-8) Review all deviations from the original JSR-299 draft spec

Review all deviations from the original JSR-299 draft spec ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMXML-8 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/SEAMXML-8 Project: Seam XML Bean Config Issue Type: Task Reporter: Stuart Douglas There a quite a few changes from the draft spec, I have listed them below: 1) shorthand field value syntax You can do <ns:Company name="Red Hat, Inc." /> 2) Producer method / field syntax was: <ns:Bean> <ns:field> <Producer> <ns:SomeQualifier/> </Producer> </ns:field> </ns:Bean> I have changed this to: <ns:Bean> <ns:field> <Producer/> <ns:SomeQualifier/> </ns:field> </ns:Bean> 3) Setting initial field values You can now do: <ns:Bean> <ns:field> <Producer/> <value>10</value> </ns:field> <ns:field2>5</ns:field2> <ns:mapField> <entry><key>a</key><value>b</value></entry> <e><k>c</k><v>d</v></e> </ns:mapField/> </ns:Bean> The value key and entry tags can be shorted to just <v><k> and <e> tags. The <value> element was not able to be used like this in the original spec, so it was not possible to apply annotations and set the field value. 4) <overrides> and <specializes> tags 5) Change of syntax for constructor and method parameters In the draft spec method parameters are specified as direct children of the method like so: <ns:Bean> <ns:method> <Producer/> <ns:ParamType1><ns:SomeAnntation/></ns:ParamType1> <ns:SomeOtherAnnotation/> <ns:ParamType2/> </ns:method> </ns:Bean> This has been changed to: <ns:Bean> <ns:method> <Producer/> <ns:SomeOtherAnnotation/> <parameters> <ns:ParamType1><ns:SomeAnntation/></ns:ParamType1> <ns:ParamType2/> </parameters/> </ns:method> </ns:Bean> 6) Interface configuration Annotations / field values applied to an interface via XML are applied to all classes that implement that interface.
