Hi Ceki/all!
due to my recent involvement in Modello[1], I started experimenting how the Modello approach could benefit existing projects that require to parse XML (but also JSON and YAML) configurations, and took Logback as a good example where doing some experiments...
What made me curious to made that experiment, is the fact that current Joran approach is based to SAX APIs + reflection - elements are introspected at runtime and components will be injected - while the Modello approach is based on streaming APIs and introspection analysis is performed at compile-time, generating the "parse-tree" and the (un)marshallers.
Is there introspection support in Modello?
Nope, unfortunately :( it generates readers/writers that just invoke plain old setters/getters/adders for generated models, but that is why maybe is efficient.
How does Modello know what setters and getters to generate? Do you have to manually specify each setter and getter to generate? There must be some automation because AFAIK Maven uses Modello for reading pom.xml, and Maven can inject parameters specificied in the pom into Mojos... [snip]
may I can kindly ask you to point me to the current XML schema for Joran configuration? Once complete, I think you could evaluate an experimental Joran2 module - which can co-live nicely with existing Joran...
Currently there is no XSD for Joran. Creating one is on my to do list. Moreover, the fact that Modello can create the XSD from the Model is one of the reasons I am interested in Modello. For logback-classic, the "spec" is "defined" by the rules defined in [1] and [2]. Whenever Joran sees an XML element for which there is no defined rule, it attempts to apply the implicit injection rule. The implicit injection rule tries to inject value of the the current XML element into the latest instantiated logback component. I've got a train to catch. More later.
