Have Support to Map

[otaviojava]

I believe shortly that a Jakarta Configuration will be a glue to configuration such as CDI does to communicate among specifications.

It is essential to have a unique configuration for the whole specification, to get reliability, and reusability, to reduce the number of bugs, and so on.

Looking at several platforms, we have several configurations that require more than properties, such as JPA connection, NoSQL client, JMS connection, etc.

It will be terrific if we have support for a more dynamic type such as a Map<String, String>.

It uses the prefix as an injection, and then it will put a key/pair dynamically. So, given this properties:

# datasource configuration
jakarta.datasource.db-kind = postgresql
jakarta.datasource.username = hibernate
jakarta.datasource.password = hibernate
jakarta.datasource.jdbc.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/hibernate_db
jakarta.datasource.properties.dyamic=123

Using the injection:

@Inject
@ConfigProperty(name="jakarta.datasource") 
private Map<String, String> map;

It will provide the following keys:

db-kind = postgresql
username = hibernate
password = hibernate
jdbc.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/hibernate_db
properties.dyamic=123

Object mappings are expected to deal with complex objects (including Map<String, String> and even Map<String, CustomType> and other combinations.
