    Description

      Goals:

      • Support bookmark resolution to handle alias names. (Introduce `@DomainObject(aliased=...)` and `@DomainService(aliased=...)` annotation attributes)
      • Support for `@Named` annotation on concrete types, abstract types and interfaces.
      • Deprecate annotation `@LogicalTypeName`.
      • Deprecate annotation attribute `@DomainObject(logicalTypeName=...)`.
      • Deprecate annotation attribute `@Value(logicalTypeName=...)`.

      Non Goals:

      • No injection point resolution based on alias names. (Naturally so, because it is based on types not names anyway.)
      • No modification to the Security Model (SecMan): Permissions are checked against primary logical member names, not involving aliases.

      Implications:

      • Must be supported by SpecificationLoader#specForBookmark and Restful DomainObjectResource and its friends.
      • Must also support service lookup based on alias names (ServiceRegistry).
