[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of POJO Server] - Can you create a MetaValue object without an actual value?

[bytor99999]

MetaValueFactory.create() methods require that you supply a value. What if all you want is a MetaValue object that has no value in it yet. Basically an empty instance.

It would be nice to have a method like create(MetaType metaType) and it returns a MetaValue object of the correct type, that can be filled in later with a setValue()

Maybe I am just missing something, and that functionality is already there.

At this moment, I just know the MetaType. 
I can, of course, go through the isXXX methods of MetaType and instantiate each Value object with "new" (Which is what I am going to do for now).  But it would be cleaner in the MetaValueFactory object.

Thanks
