Design Specification: MOXy Extensions: Additional MOXy annotation support required

ER 317962

Document History

Date Author Version Description & Notes
2010/06/25 David McCann Initial Contribution. The work outlined in this design document is a continuation of the work done for ER 293925

Project overview

Goals:

  • Provide MOXy annotation support equivalent to our XML metadata support.
  • Provide additional MOXy annotation support that will allow similar configuration abilities as with deployment XML.

Concepts

  • List any relevant concepts here.

Requirements

The following sections will expand the goals of this project into more concrete requirements.

Design Constraints

EclipseLink MOXy Annotations

We require the same level of support through annotations as we have via EclipseLink XML metadata

EclipseLink JPA Annotations

The annotations should have the same feel as the equivalent annotations for EclipseLink JPA

High Level Design

EclipseLink MOXy extension support via annotations

This support will be added as outlined in the following phases:

Design / Functionality

Testing

The basic testing strategy will be to have a test suite for each annotation (JAXB) and mapping (MOXy). Each suite will, at a minimum, test schema generation, unmarshal and marshal operations.

API

GUI

Config files
