Feature matrix for client/server configuration properties

[jfiala]

Description

Currently there are some features which might make sense to document as a feature matrix in the documentation:

• Test-cases
• Logging
• Gzip-support (see [Java] How to add gzip filter to com.sun.jersey.api.client.Client #3279)
• Bean-Validation annotation support (Java) (see Client-generation: Allow data validation on the client side (using minLength/maxLength) #2549 )
• Automatic client-side bean-validation support (Java)

For server stubs we could add

• Logging
• Complete web application support (web.xml + configuration files) to build as webapp
• Jboss support (jboss-web.xml etc.)
• Automatic server-side bean-validation support (@Valid)
• Swagger-support
• WADL-support

I could start with this with the Java (Jersey) client and Jaxrs-CXF server stub (see #2549, #2017).
This could also foster template reuse across projects or at least lookup how features are done in other generators...

What do you think?

@jfiala thanks for the suggestion. The core team has created a google spreadsheet for the feature matrix.

We'll convert that into HTML so that the community can keep it up-to-date with PRs.

added interfaces in io.swagger.codegen.languages.features to allow easy detection of supported features across languages.

Currently added interfaces:

• BeanValidationFeatures (= language supports bean validation annotations)
• BeanValidationExtendedFeature (=automatic bean validation)
• LoggingFeatures
• GzipFeatures
• SpringFeatures
• SwaggerFeatures
• CXFServerFeatures for CXF-specific features (WADL Generator)
• JbossFeatures
• GzipFeatureForTests
• LoggingFeatureForTests

@wing328: should I add an interface JbossFeatures to indicate jboss support (i.e. jboss-web.xml etc.) of the language (this feature is already implemented by other server languages)?

added interface JbossFeature for generating jboss-web.xml for jaxrs-reasteasy + jaxrs-cxf.

Sounds good to me. Thanks.
