Can OWNER create new instances?

[vaspoz]

HI

I wonder, if I could create new object instances from my properties in ".xml" file.
Suppose I have a class Person with few fields:

class Person {
    String name;
    Integer age;

    public Person(String name, Integer age) {
    //omitted
    }
    //getters and setters
}

And Configuration.xml:

<properties>
    <person>
        <name>Vas</name>
        <age>22</age>
    </person>
</properties

And interface:

interface Configuration extends Config {
    @Key("properties.person")
    Person samplePerson();
}

So how can I create some instance like that:

class TestDrive {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Configuration config = ConfigFactory.create(Configuration.class);

        Person Andry = config.samplePerson();
        System.out.println(Andry.getName());    // Vas
        System.out.println(Andry.getAge);         // 22
    }
}

Hi @vaspoz

This would be nice, but at the moment it is not supported. It sounds similar to #45 and #129.

At the moment I don't think this can be done with existing features.
