Id Annotation isn't inherited by child classes

[deusprogrammer]

Perhaps an annotation similar to @MappedSuper in JPA so if I am using the same id field in each entity I can just extend a parent class instead of having to mark up an id field in every class.

Otherwise great library, much better than CouchbaseLite. Especially since it doesn't require any native libraries.

Thanks for the kind words, I am glad you like it.

For the feature itself, I am working on it.

This feature should be available in 2.1.0.SNAPSHOT now.

I have added a new annotation @InheritIndices that you should apply on the child class. Once applied it will consider all index related annotations @Id, @Index, @Indices through out the class hierarchy.

The feature works like as follows:

@Index(value = "text", type = IndexType.Fulltext)
public class SuperDuperClass {
    public String text;
}

@Indices(
        @Index(value = "date", type = IndexType.Unique)
)
public class ParentClass extends SuperDuperClass {
    @Id
    public Long id;
    public Date date;
}

@InheritIndices
public class ChildClass extends ParentClass {
    public String name;
}

Now the ChildClass will have indices for fields - text, date and id.

Now that's dedication. My hat's off to you sir.
