Description

I understand currently it is not possible to write a thrift file which when compiled will generate java code that can have annotations in it. I am working on a project in which I need the fields in generated java classes to have annotations on them e.g., in below I have defined a annotation named Column that is used on fields in MyClass:
@Retention(value= RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@interface Column {
int value() default -1;
}

public class MyClass {
@Column(0)
private String stateFP;

@Column(1)
private String countyFP;

@Column(2)
private String countyNS;

@Column(3)
private String geoid;
