Design Specification: Multiple Bindings File Support
Currently MOXy provides the ability to augment the annotation metadata with an XML bindings file. This enhancement request is for the ability to apply multiple binding files to a model.
Sample use case: 1. Initial metadata is specified with annotations. 2. Second version modifies the metadata with an XML bindings file. 3. Subsequent versions continue to modify the metadata with new bindings files.
With the metadata layered in this way a JAXBContext could be created to represent any version of the XML document.
Requirements
- Must provide an API to allow multiple bindings files to be passed into the context creation
- Be able to merge multiple bindings files into a single unified XmlBindings
- Must coincide with JPA rules for overrides with multiple orm .xml files.
