Handling multiple types with a single DataProvider

[wodge]

Hi, 

I'm writing a DataProvider and would like it handle multiple types. The documentation says as follows:

You must annotate your Data Provider Adapter class with the object types for which the adapter proce...@type tag to create the necessary annotation. 

For example, if you have a custom object of type WhatsIt, you annotate the class like the following example:

@type("samples:WhatsIt") // declares the supported object types

public class MyAdapter implements DataProviderAdapter {

I would like to handle multiple types with the same data adapter, so as well as "samples:WhatsIt" objects, I'd also like to handle say "samples:Whatelse".

What is the syntax for the @type annotation so that multiple object types can be handled please?

Many thanks

@type("samples:WhatsIt, samples:Whatelse") // declares the supported object types

public class MyAdapter implements DataProviderAdapter {

See ChassisRackVSphereDataAdapter.java in the ChassisB sample for such case:

@type("HostSystem,samples:Rack,samples:ChassisB") // declares the supported object types.

It's always a good idea to search all the sample source files for particular APIs 🙂
