Pete Muir commented on SEAMXML-8:
---------------------------------

I don't love the shorthand in (3), but I know that without it people will complain. Otherwise looks good.

>                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/SEAMXML-8

>          Issue Type: Task

> 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.
