[sdo] [SDO-13]: MetaData as Annotations in Java Interfaces

[Radu Preotiuc-Pietro <radup@bea.com>]

Steve Brodsky:

The main additions needed for round trip of the basic Type and Property
information (not yet addressing other XSD information) are:

For multi-valued properties that are not using generics (ie
List<Customer>), and when the instance class is not enough to resolve
the Type of the Property (primarily for new DataTypes), the Property
Type should be indicated.

For bidirectional properties, the opposite Property needs to be
indicated.

For containment properties, containment true/false needs to be
indicated.

For types, open and sequenced needs to be indicated.


James Taylor:

We think that the scope of this is too big for 2.1 and that it should be
considered for 3.0 instead. In addition, the solution should work for
both statically generated and dynamic DataObject and it's unclear how an
annotation approach would solve both of these cases.
