[core] generic annotations for Labels and Relations #99

Open CrystalMethod opened 10 years ago

CrystalMethod commented 10 years ago

We previously talked about this during a private conversation, but I would like to put it up for public discussion:

I would like to propose generic annotations for Labels (or better: Roles) and Relations. Aggregation (or better: composition) of domain objects is one of the key features of XO and it should be used in the same way across the different datastore implementations.

Querydsl Annotation Processing would be much easier with just two Annotations for Label (Entity, Role) and Relationship.

The "Property" annotation is another candidate for a generic annotation. Pretty much all datastore implementation will provide some kind of renaming.
