[Stuart Douglas (JIRA)]

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:

- shorthand field value syntax 

You can do <ns:MyBean fieldName="fieldValue" />

- 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>

- 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.

-  <overrides> and <specializes> tags


- 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>

- Interface configuration

Annotations / field values applied to an interface via XML are applied to all classes that implement that interface.
