[sca-j] [NEW ISSUE] Normative statement JCA90014 has the wrong form |
Raiser: Mike Edwards
Target: sca-javacaa-1.1-spec-cd03-rev1.doc
Description:
The statement JCA90014 has the form:
"For a @Property annotation applied to a constructor parameter, the required attribute MUST have the value true. [JCA90014]"
This has the unfortunate effect of implying that the writer of the composite file must explicitly set the @required attribute of the
@Property annotation - ie that the form @Property(required="true") is necessary.
However, a recent change to the spec caused by the resolution of another issue changed the default value of the @required
attribute to "true" - see the statement immediately before JCA90014 - "Defaults to true". So it is clear that the default value of
@required satisfies JCA90014.
In order to avoid confusion and remove the implication that the @required="true" must be declared explicitly, the form of JCA90014
should be changed (BUT NOT ITS MEANING)
Proposal:
Change JCA90014 to read as follows:
"For a @Property annotation applied to a constructor parameter, the required attribute MUST NOT have the value false. [JCA90014]"
This simply implies that @requires="false" is not allowed and leaves open the possibility not to state @requires at all, picking
up the default value of "true"
