Usability of new @Implement annotation

[dotWee]

Is there any example available for the new @Implement annotation? I'm searching for a way to implement a custom comparator into model specs.

There's an example in the javadoc for @Implements. I've been meaning to add one to the wiki, just haven't gotten around to it yet. For implementing Comparable though:

@TableModelSpec(className = "Person", tableName = "people")
@Implements(interfaceDefinitions = {
    @Implements.InterfaceSpec(interfaceClass=Comparable.class,
        interfaceTypeArgNames="com.mypackage.Person")})
// This should generate class Person implements Comparable<Person>
public class PersonSpec {
    ...

    @ModelMethod // For implementing the interface method
    public static int compareTo(Person instance, Person other) {
        // Implement the comparison here
    }
}

Hope that helps!

That helps a lot! Thank you very much!

Sure thing! Maybe I'll just use that example for the wiki, it's a good one :)
