Enum injection

[ivanjunckes]

Hi guys,

These are the supported values:
java.lang.String
• java.lang.Long
• java.lang.Boolean
• java.util.Set<java.lang.String>
• javax.json.JsonValue.TRUE/FALSE
• javax.json.JsonString
• javax.json.JsonNumber
• javax.json.JsonArray
• javax.json.JsonObject

Shouldn't we also support Enum classes? Strings could be transformed to a Enum using valueOf if the injection point is an Enum class.

What do you guys think?

We should have identical conversion capabilities as the Config API. Last I checked they were something like the following:

• public TheType(String) produce an instance using public string constructor on the type itself.
• public static TheType parse(String) produce an instance using a static factory on the type itself.

There's an order of precedence and if I recall correctly at least one supported more static factory pattern.

I think this makes sense.

Is it a duplicate of #100 ?

Hi @ivanjunckes all, copying your requirement to #100, to keep it all centralized in one place;
