First, I am pretty new to Java reflection, generics and annotations.
I would like to develop an abstract class that would allow me to support a various set of POJOs (value objects to be more accurate) by providing generic implementations/methods based on custom annotations from the child class.
Abstract Class
public abstract class AbstractValueObject<T>
private Class<T> targetClass;
private Integer id;
private String rowState;
public AbstractValueObject(final Class<T> targetClassToSet) {
this.targetClass = targetClassToSet;
for (Method method : targetClass.getMethods()) {
if (method.isAnnotationPresent(ValueObjectId.class)) {
... invoke getter that has the @ValueObjectId annotation from the child class, and set that value in the id class attribute...
}
if (method.isAnnotationPresent(ValueObjectRowState.class)) {
... invoke getter that has the @ValueObjectRowState annotation from the child classfro, and set that value in the rowState class attribute...
}
}
}
public boolean isNew() {
... logic based on id and rowState ...
}
public boolean isUpdated() {
... logic based on id and rowState ...
}
public boolean isDeleted() {
... logic based on id and rowState ...
}
abstract boolean isValid();
}
Example child class
public class MyCustomClass extends AbstractValueObject<MyCustomClass> implements Serializable {
private String fileId;
private String fileRowState;
@ValueObjectId
public String getFileId() {
return fileId;
}
public void setFileId(String fileId) {
this.fileId = fileId;
}
@ValueObjectRowState
public String getFileRowState() {
return fileRowState
}
public void setFileRowState(String fileRowState) {
this.fileRowState= fileRowState;
}
@Override
public boolean isValid() {
...specific implementation...
}
}
Annotations
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
public @interface ValueObjectId {
}
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
public @interface ValueObjectRowState {
}
Is it feasible? I haven't found any example similar to this requirement yet.
Thank you
