microservices-annotator.toml support

[linux-china]

Lots of Java developer likes to use interface to proxy remote request, for example:

interface UserService {
    User findUserById(Integer id);
}

UserService interface will be proxied to remote call, and it should be marked as REQUEST, STREAMING or other types.

Is it possible to load microservices-annotator.toml from project root directory and annotate these API call?

[[STREAMING]]
name = "RSocket Stream"
methods = ["io.rsocket.RSocket.requestStream"]

[[REQUEST]]
name = "RSocket"
classes = ["io.rsocket.RSocket", "org.springframework.messaging.rsocket.RSocketRequester"]

If possible, could the plugin try to find META-INF/microservices-annotator.toml in the jars?

Hi,
I'm not sure If I can read TOML in the plugin, but we could read JSON metadata in the same format as DB from class path for sure.

As for RSocket, can I simply implement its support right in the plugin, like I did for gRPC? Is it possible to somehow detect those RSocket services?

That's same, and developers just put a json file in the classpath. For example, I put annotator json file in src/main/resources, then released as jar file, and MicroServices Annotator will detect it?

@jreznot If I add src/main/resources/annotator/db.json into a jar in the classpath , could Microservices Annotator plugin read this json file and merge it with main db.json?

[jreznot]

Yes, I believe it will be able to read any file from resources even from JAR dependencies
