Provide a way to specify a reference to identity using annotation about jmolecules HOT 5 CLOSED

You're right. In the type-based model, Association is what would model this, if you wanted to go beyond declaring the simple identifier field. I guess we could introduce an Association annotation, too, to keep symmetry between the two models (we already have that for AggregateRoot, Entity etc.).

What exactly would the purpose of the identityType attribute be? Isn't that – by definition – the type of the field?

I agree with everything you wrote. You are absolutely right, the identityType is not required... Should I provide a PR then? How the annotation should be called? Are you ok with Association` then?

To tell you what I'm currently building: it is Axon Framework byte buddy integration. For support of Axon Framework @TargetAggregateIdentifier I would use the @Association annotation then...

I would happily have a look at a PR. Association is just fine. I am wondering whether we want to be consistent with @Identity in allowing both annotations on methods, likely the getter, too.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing that PR as well!
