spring: add annotation if property name endsWith("FOO")>

Help/feature request

I'm writing a new generator for Spring and JSON-API. I'm using the https://github.com/jasminb/jsonapi-converter to generate JSON-API from our models.

JSON-API requires an ID in the payload, the jsonapi-converter uses its @Id annotation to specify which field should be used as the ID in the payload.

Currently I have this hacked solution in place:

        if( property.baseName.endsWith("FOO") ) {
            property.example = "true";
        }

    {{#example}}@Id{{/example}}
    private {{{datatypeWithEnum}}} {{name}} = {{{defaultValue}}};

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!

Start by tracing the Spring generator template shown in the issue and how property.baseName and property.example are populated. Determine whether the generator can conditionally emit @Id for names ending in "FOO" without the example-value hack; done means the annotation is generated for the intended properties while other fields remain unchanged.
