[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SEAMXML-25) Introduce s:values tag

[Jozef Hartinger (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMXML-25?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12579332#comment-12579332 ] 

Jozef Hartinger commented on SEAMXML-25:
----------------------------------------

or is it possible to leave out the <s:value> tag completely for collections? (according to docs this can be done for a String field)

<e:Foo>
<e:bars>
<e:Bar id="1"/>
<e:Bar id="2"/>
<e:Bar id="3"/>
<e:Bar id="4"/>
</e:bars>
</e:Foo>

> Currently, it is quite verbose to populate a collection with configured object instances using the XML module.
> For example:
> Foo is a class having a collection (bars) of Bars
> <e:Foo>
>    <e:bars>
>       <s:value>
>          <e:Bar id="1"/>
>       </s:value>
>       <s:value>
>          <e:Bar id="2"/>
>       </s:value>
>       <s:value>
>          <e:Bar id="3"/>
>       </s:value>
>       <s:value>
>          <e:Bar id="4"/>
>       </s:value>
>    </e:bars>
> </e:Foo>
> If the s:values tag is introduced, it'll make the configuration less verbose
> <e:Foo>
>    <e:bars>
>       <s:values>
>          <e:Bar id="1"/>
>          <e:Bar id="2"/>
>          <e:Bar id="3"/>
>          <e:Bar id="4"/>
>       </s:values>
>    </e:bars>
> </e:Foo>
