File location information for Objects

[Amir Bar-or]

Hi,

We are using Jackson and YAML and we have a validation pass after the objects have been created (no parsing error).  I would like to report issues with the location info (first line/character) for the objects. Is it possible to somehow retrieve it?  Can this be a new annotation we can add to our objects that wish to retain location info?

If underlying YAML parser (SnakeYAML) can provide location information, it should be possible to connect it, same way as JSON parser does it. No annotation s are needed. But location information is only available during parsing; data binding functionality has no place to store it, so validation would either need to be done incrementally (like wrapping the resulting parser), or by building a custom model that keeps track of location information.
