Identity Management entity annotations and inheritance

[hermida.leandro.hermida.gmail.com]

Hello,

I was wondering if the Identity Management API supports putting some of the entity annotations in parent classes?  I have a User entity bean which will have @UserPrincipal, @UserPassword, @UserEnabled, @UserRoles and it inherits from a Person class which has the first and last name and thus @UserFirstName and @UserLastName.  Is this possible?

regards,
Leandro

It should probably support this.  Could you please raise this as a feature request in JIRA and assign to me?

Hello,

I have made the request: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3486

Sorry I couldn't see in JIRA how I had the power to assign it to you.  Do I simply write Assign to Shane Bryzak as a note for the JIRA project lead?

Hello again,

I would like to ask if the following workaround is possible with the current Identity Management API:

public class User extends Person {
    
    ...
    
    @UserLastName
    public String getLastName {
        super.getLastName();
    }

    ...
}

Yes it's possible to do that and also the issue has been fixed in SVN trunk.

Oops I spoke too soon.  It's only fixed for inherited fields, not methods.

Hello,

Ok no problem - just throw me a reply in this thread when you have done it for methods too in trunk

Hi Shane,

Just to give you some feedback I have been using 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT after you implemented this feature and in my project where identity management annotations are also in parent classes and everything seems to work great so no problems from this end.

Great to hear Leandro, thanks for the feedback.
