Description Scott Lewis

2010-04-19 15:13:33 EDT

In ECF 3.3, java annotation classes have been defined (named org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.AsyncService and org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.AsyncMethod).  

These annotation types are present to support the use of annotations to construct/generate asynchronous service interfaces usable by ECF remote services for asynchronous consumer access to remote services as described by this wiki page:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Asynchronous_Remote_Services

To make it easier to create an asynchronous service interface, it should be possible to construct an annotation processor that processes AsyncService and AsyncMethod and uses the annotation to generate an asynchronous service interface for a normal service interface.  This enhancement request will track the development of this annotation processor.

There is an initial implementation of this annotation process here

host:  dev.eclipse.org
root:  /cvsroot/rt
module:  org.eclipse.ecf/incubation/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.apt.java6

This provides a basic initial implementation of a java6-based annotation processor that handles AsyncService (and eventually AsyncMethod).

Do we have an example that shows how to use the annotations yet?

No.  The annotation processor isn't really completed...it's just barely functioning and needs to be completed.

For the record, the ECF source is no longer in CVS, but in git instead [1]. Ideally, we receive patches through gerrit [2].

The work that I started on the java6 annotation processor is in git here
