- Implements Converter and delegates to the default BeanContext
session for type conversion.
- Provides access to the full Juneau framework conversion logic
including bean mapping.
+** New Features - Large-Dataset Streaming APIs (BeanSupplier / BeanConsumer /
BeanChannel)
+
+ * New streaming interfaces for serializing and parsing large datasets
without loading all elements
+ into memory, enabling direct database integration (JDBC inserts/cursors,
batch commits, rollbacks).
+
+ * BeanSupplier<T> (juneau-commons) - serializer-side lifecycle interface:
+ - Extends Iterable<T>; serializer calls begin(), iterates, calls
onError(Exception) on error,
+ and always calls complete() in a finally block for resource cleanup
(cursors, connections).
+ - Default onError() rethrows; override to add rollback or logging
logic.
+
+ * BeanConsumer<T> (juneau-commons) - parser-side lifecycle interface:
+ - Extends ThrowingConsumer<T>; parser calls begin(), acceptThrows(T)
per element,
+ onError(Exception) on element failure, and always calls complete()
for resource cleanup.
+ - Default onError() rethrows (stop-on-error); override to absorb the
exception and continue
+ parsing remaining elements (skip-and-continue / fault-tolerant
ingestion).
+
+ * BeanChannel<T> (juneau-commons) - round-trip interface that extends both
BeanSupplier and
+ BeanConsumer, allowing the same property to be used for both
serialization and parsing.
+
+ * ListBeanChannel<T> (juneau-commons) - built-in in-memory implementation
of BeanChannel backed
+ by an ArrayList; useful for testing and simple scenarios without a DI
framework.
+
+ * ParserSession.parseToBeanConsumer(Object, BeanConsumer<T>, Class<T>) -
new top-level API for
+ streaming parsing; drives the full consumer lifecycle. The default
implementation parses to a
+ List first; format-specific parsers may override doParseToBeanConsumer()
for true streaming.
+
+ * Supplier<T> unwrapping in SerializerSession - serializers now
recursively unwrap nested
+ Supplier chains (up to depth 10) to their underlying value before
serialization. BeanSupplier
+ instances are NOT unwrapped (they are treated as Iterable sequences).
+
+ * Direction validation - serializers throw SerializeException if a
BeanConsumer (not BeanChannel)
+ is passed as a source; parsers throw ParseException if a BeanSupplier
(not BeanChannel) is the
+ parse target. Error messages guide users toward the correct interface.
+
+ * @Bean(factory=X.class) - new annotation attribute specifying a
BeanFactory class for
+ class-level factory-based instantiation; integrates with BeanStore (e.g.
SpringBeanStore) for
+ DI framework support.
+
+ * @Beanp(factory=X.class) - new annotation attribute specifying a
BeanFactory for a specific
+ bean property's value; enables property-level DI-managed streaming
implementations.
+
+ * @Beanp(elementType=Y.class) - new annotation attribute declaring the
element type for generic
+ streaming properties (Stream<Y>, BeanSupplier<Y>, BeanConsumer<Y>,
BeanChannel<Y>); overcomes
+ Java type erasure. Also supports narrowing to concrete implementation
types.
+
+ * BeanFactory<T> (juneau-commons) - universal @FunctionalInterface for
creating instances of any
+ type T; BeanFactory.Void is a sentinel class for annotation defaults.
+
+ * BeanContext.Builder.beanStore(BeanStore) - new builder method for
injecting a BeanStore (e.g.
+ SpringBeanStore) for factory resolution during bean creation.

+/**
+ * A lifecycle-aware round-trip interface that combines both {@link
BeanSupplier} (for serialization)
+ * and {@link BeanConsumer} (for parsing) on the same property or class.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Use this interface when the same object needs to:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Provide beans to a serializer (via {@link #iterator()})
+ * <li>Receive beans from a parser (via {@link #acceptThrows(Object)})
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The lifecycle methods ({@link #begin()}, {@link #complete()}, {@link
#onError(Exception)}) are
+ * shared across both directions. The implementation implicitly knows its
direction from which data
+ * method is called first after {@link #begin()}:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>{@link #iterator()} called first → read mode (serialization)
+ * <li>{@link #acceptThrows(Object)} called first → write mode (parsing)
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The framework drives the lifecycle:
+ * <ol>
+ * <li>Calls {@link #begin()} before the first data operation
+ * <li>Reads via {@link #iterator()} (serializer) or writes via {@link
#acceptThrows(Object)} (parser)
+ * <li>If an exception occurs, calls {@link #onError(Exception)}
+ * <li>Always calls {@link #complete()} at the end (like {@code finally})
+ * </ol>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Since {@code BeanChannel} extends {@link BeanConsumer}, a {@code
BeanChannel} instance passes
+ * the parser's {@code instanceof BeanConsumer} check. Since it extends {@link
BeanSupplier}, it
+ * also passes the serializer's {@code instanceof BeanSupplier} check — both
directions work.

+# Large Dataset Streaming Plan
+
+Add built-in serializer/parser support for large datasets via lazy producers
(Supplier/Stream) and
+consumers (Consumer), avoiding loading entire collections into memory.
Includes lifecycle management
+for database-backed implementations.
+
+---
+
+## Key Design Decision: `Supplier<T>` and End-of-Input
+
+`java.util.function.Supplier<T>` has **no end-of-input mechanism** — it only
has `T get()`,
+returning one value. It cannot model a sequence. The right data structures are:
+
+- **`Stream<T>`** — already supported in Juneau 9.2.1 for both top-level and
bean properties; lazy,
+ auto-signals end when exhausted, `AutoCloseable` for lifecycle
+- **`Supplier<T>`** — should be treated as a **single-value lazy wrapper**
analogous to `Optional<T>`:
+ the serializer calls `get()` and serializes the result transparently; the
parser wraps the result
+ in a `Supplier`
+- **`BeanSupplier<T>`** (new) — lifecycle-aware wrapper around a sequence;
extends `Iterable<T>` so
+ existing `forEachStreamableEntry()` handles it; adds `begin()`/`complete()`
hooks for database
+ lifecycle
+
+**Recommendation:** `Stream<T>` for sequences (already works),
`BeanSupplier<T>` when lifecycle
+callbacks are needed, `Supplier<T>` for single lazy values.
+
+---
+
+## New Interfaces (juneau-commons)
+
+Four new interfaces in
`juneau-core/juneau-commons/src/main/java/org/apache/juneau/commons/`:
+
+```java
+// Universal factory interface — used with @Bean(factory=X.class) for any bean
type
+@FunctionalInterface
+public interface BeanFactory<T> {
+ T create();
+}
+
+// For parsers — receives deserialized beans one at a time
+// Extends ThrowingConsumer<T> (which extends Consumer<T>) so acceptThrows()
supports checked exceptions
+public interface BeanConsumer<T> extends ThrowingConsumer<T> {
+ default void begin() throws Exception {} // called before first accept()
+ default void complete() throws Exception {} // always called (like
finally) — close resources
+ default void onError(Exception e) throws Exception { throw e; } //
rollback; absorb to skip, rethrow to stop
+}
+
+// For serializers — provides beans lazily with lifecycle
+public interface BeanSupplier<T> extends Iterable<T> {
+ default void begin() throws Exception {} // called before iteration
starts
+ default void complete() throws Exception {} // always called (like
finally) — close resources
+ default void onError(Exception e) throws Exception { throw e; } // called
on iteration failure
+}
+
+// For round-trip — combines both supplier and consumer on the same property
+public interface BeanChannel<T> extends BeanSupplier<T>, BeanConsumer<T> {
+ @Override default void begin() throws Exception {}
+ @Override default void complete() throws Exception {}
+ @Override default void onError(Exception e) throws Exception { throw e; }
+}
+```
+
+**Interface hierarchy:**
+- `BeanConsumer<T>` — parse only (implements `ThrowingConsumer<T>`)
+- `BeanSupplier<T>` — serialize only (implements `Iterable<T>`)
+- `BeanChannel<T>` — both directions (extends both)
+
+`BeanFactory<T>` is the single universal factory interface. A Spring
`@Component` that creates
+`ItemChannel` instances simply implements `BeanFactory<ItemChannel>`.
+
+`BeanSupplier<T>` deliberately extends `Iterable<T>` so ClassMeta's existing
`ITERABLE` category
+picks it up automatically — no new category needed.
+
+**Direction validation:** The framework validates that the correct interface
is used for each
+direction. Since `BeanChannel` extends both interfaces, the checks must test
for *pure* types:
+- Serializer: if `o instanceof BeanConsumer && !(o instanceof BeanSupplier)` →
+ `"Cannot serialize a BeanConsumer. Use BeanSupplier for serialization or
BeanChannel for round-trip."`
+- Parser: if target `instanceof BeanSupplier && !(target instanceof
BeanConsumer)` →
+ `"Cannot parse into a BeanSupplier. Use BeanConsumer for parsing or
BeanChannel for round-trip."`
+
+A `BeanChannel` passes both checks because it implements both interfaces.
+
+**BeanChannel lifecycle — direction is implicit (Option A):** The
`BeanChannel` shares
+`begin()`/`complete()`/`onError()` across both directions. The implementation
knows which
+direction it's in based on which data method is called first after `begin()`:
+- `iterator()` called → read mode (serialization)
+- `acceptThrows()` called → write mode (parsing)
+
+---
+
+## Built-in Implementations (no factory required)
+
+For implementations that manage their own storage, no factory or DI framework
is needed.
+Provide these in `juneau-commons`:
+
+```java
+// Round-trip in-memory implementation — collects on parse, iterates on
serialize
+public class ListBeanChannel<T> implements BeanChannel<T> {
+ private final List<T> list = new ArrayList<>();
+ @Override public void acceptThrows(T item) { list.add(item); }
+ @Override public Iterator<T> iterator() { return list.iterator(); }
+ public List<T> getList() { return list; }
+}
+```
+
+`ListBeanChannel<T>` replaces the need for separate `ListBeanConsumer` and
`IterableBeanSupplier`
+implementations — it handles both directions. Users can subclass it to add
custom behavior.
+
+These are instantiated directly by `BeanCreator` (no-arg constructor) — no
factory annotation
+or BeanStore needed.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: `Supplier<T>` Single-Value Unwrapping (Serializer)
+
+Model after `Optional<T>` handling in `BeanTraverseSession`.
+
+**Unwrapping is recursive** — `Supplier<Supplier<T>>` unwraps fully to `T`. A
depth guard of 10
+levels prevents infinite loops from self-referential suppliers and throws
`IllegalArgumentException`
+if exceeded (same pattern as the existing cyclic object graph guard):
+
+```java
+private Object unwrapSupplier(Object o, int depth) {
+ if (depth > 10)
+ throw illegalArg("Supplier chain exceeds maximum unwrap depth of 10");
+ return o instanceof Supplier<?> s ? unwrapSupplier(s.get(), depth + 1) : o;
+}
+```
+
+Files to change:
+
+- `ClassMeta.java` — add `isSupplier()` / `isSupplierType()` detection
alongside `isOptional()`
+- `BeanTraverseSession.java` — add `unwrapSupplier(Object, int)` helper; call
at the early-unwrap
+ block in `getExpectedRootType()` and `serializeAnything()`
+- All `serializeAnything()` implementations — add transparent `Supplier`
unwrap before type dispatch
+ (same location as `Optional` unwrap)
+
+Parser side: when target `ClassMeta` is `Supplier`, wrap the parsed value in a
`() -> value`
+lambda.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: `Stream<T>` Lifecycle (close after serialization)
+
+`Stream<T>` implements `AutoCloseable`. Currently `forEachStreamableEntry()`
in `SerializerSession.java`
+calls `stream.forEach()` but never `stream.close()`.
+
+Change `forEachStreamableEntry()` to close streams after consumption:
+
+```java
+} else if (type.isStream()) {
+ try (Stream s2 = (Stream)o) {
+ s2.forEach(consumer);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+This handles database-backed `Stream<T>` with connection lifecycle
automatically.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: `BeanSupplier<T>` — Lifecycle-Aware Producer
+
+Since `BeanSupplier<T>` extends `Iterable<T>`, ClassMeta already classifies it
as `ITERABLE`.
+The only additions needed:
+
+- In `SerializerSession.serialize(Object o, Object out)`: before calling
`doSerialize()`, check if
+ `o instanceof BeanSupplier`; if so drive the full lifecycle:
+ ```java
+ if (o instanceof BeanSupplier<?> bs) {
+ bs.begin();
+ try {
+ doSerialize(out, o);
+ } catch (Exception e) {
+ bs.onError(e); // rollback / error-specific handling
+ } finally {
+ bs.complete(); // always: close cursor, release resources
+ }
+ }
+ ```
+- Same check in `forEachStreamableEntry()` for property-level `BeanSupplier`
values
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: `BeanConsumer<T>` — Parser Target
+
+New `parse()` overloads in `ParserSession.java`:
+
+```java
+// Parse a JSON array / collection, calling consumer.accept() per element
+public <T> void parse(Object input, BeanConsumer<T> consumer, Class<T> type)
throws ParseException
+public <T> void parse(Object input, BeanConsumer<T> consumer, Type type,
Type...args) throws ParseException
+```
+
+Lifecycle contract:
+
+1. Call `consumer.begin()`
+2. Parse outer array/object wrapper
+3. For each element:
+ a. Parse element token, call `consumer.acceptThrows(element)` (checked
exceptions supported)
+ b. If exception: call `consumer.onError(e)`
+ - If `onError()` absorbs (doesn't rethrow): continue to next element
(skip-and-continue)
+ - If `onError()` rethrows: stop parsing, propagate as `ParseException`
+4. **Always** call `consumer.complete()` (like `finally`) — whether parsing
succeeded or
+ `onError()` rethrew
+
+`complete()` acts as a resource cleanup hook (close statement/connection) and
is always called.
+`onError()` handles error-specific logic (rollback). This separates rollback
from cleanup:
+
+```java
+@Override public void onError(Exception e) throws Exception {
+ conn.rollback(); // error-specific: undo partial work
+ throw e;
+}
+@Override public void complete() throws Exception {
+ stmt.close(); // always: release resources
+ conn.close();
+}
+```
+
+The default `onError()` rethrows, so the default behavior is
stop-on-first-error. Users can
+override to absorb errors for fault-tolerant ingestion (e.g., log bad records
and skip them).
+
+**Implementation: format-specific `doParse()` hooks (true streaming).** Each
format-specific parser
+session implements a new low-level hook:
+
+```java
+protected abstract <T> void doParse(ParserPipe pipe, BeanConsumer<T> consumer,
ClassMeta<T> type)
+ throws IOException, ParseException;
+```
+
+This ensures elements are passed to `consumer.accept()` one at a time as they
are read from the
+input stream — no intermediate buffering of the full collection. Each format's
existing
+`doParseCollection()` logic is the natural starting point for the per-element
loop.
+
+Files to change: `ReaderParserSession`, `InputStreamParserSession`, and each
concrete format
+session — `JsonParserSession`, `XmlParserSession`, `CsvParserSession`,
`BsonParserSession`,
+`MsgPackParserSession`, `UonParserSession`, `UrlEncodingParserSession`, etc.
+
+---
+
+## Spring / DI Framework Integration
+
+### Overview
+
+`@Bean(factory=X.class)` is a **universal DI hook** for any class the
framework needs to
+instantiate — not just `BeanConsumer`/`BeanSupplier`. The same mechanism
applies to:
+
+- `BeanConsumer` / `BeanSupplier` subclasses (per-request stateful, must be
created fresh)
+- `ObjectSwap` subclasses (previously forced to use no-arg constructors; now
can receive injection)
+- Any ordinary bean class parsed from JSON/XML/etc. (factory provides the
instance, parser sets properties)
+
+Two annotation targets:
+
+1. **`@Bean(factory=X.class)`** — on the target class itself; used whenever
that class is instantiated
+2. **`@Beanp(factory=X.class)`** — on a bean property getter/setter; overrides
factory for one property
+ (needed when the declared property type is an interface)
+
+### Universal `BeanCreator` integration
+
+`BeanCreator` already centralizes all bean instantiation. The factory check
becomes its first step:
+
+```
+BeanCreator instantiating class C:
+ 1. Does C have @Bean(factory=X.class)?
+ YES → try beanStore.getBean(X) — if found, use it
+ else try to instantiate X directly (no-arg constructor /
getInstance())
+ if both fail → throw IllegalArgumentException
+ → call BeanFactory<C>.create()
+ NO → existing logic: getInstance(), constructors, builder pattern, etc.
+```
+
+This degrades gracefully — works without Spring (factory instantiated
directly), works with Spring
+(factory fetched from `SpringBeanStore`). Classes with no factory annotation
are unaffected.
+A clear exception is thrown if the factory class cannot be resolved by either
means, preventing
+silent failures.
+
+### What this unifies
+
+| Class type | Before | After |
+|---|---|---|
+| Ordinary parsed bean | Reflection/constructor | Factory (if annotated) |
+| `ObjectSwap` | No-arg constructor only | Factory (if annotated) — Spring
injection now possible |
+| `BeanConsumer` | Same | Factory → lifecycle driven by parser |
+| `BeanSupplier` | Same | Factory → lifecycle driven by serializer |
+| `BeanChannel` | N/A | Factory → round-trip; serializer/parser drive same
instance |
+
+### Spring example (property-level)
+
+```java
+// Spring singleton factory — implements BeanFactory<ItemConsumer>
+@Component
+public class ItemConsumerFactory implements BeanFactory<ItemConsumer> {
+ @Autowired ItemRepository repo;
+
+ @Override
+ public ItemConsumer create() {
+ return new ItemConsumer(repo.openBatch());
+ }
+}
+
+// BeanConsumer subclass declares its factory via @Bean
+@Bean(factory=ItemConsumerFactory.class)
+public class ItemConsumer implements BeanConsumer<Item> {
+ private final BatchWriter writer;
+ public ItemConsumer(BatchWriter writer) { this.writer = writer; }
+
+ @Override public void begin() { writer.open(); }
+ @Override public void accept(Item item) { writer.write(item); }
+ @Override public void complete() { writer.commit(); writer.close(); }
+ @Override public void onError(Exception e) throws Exception {
writer.rollback(); throw e; }
+}
+
+// Bean class declares property using ItemConsumer type
+public class ItemCollection {
+ // Parser creates ItemConsumer via factory, calls
begin()/accept()/complete()
+ @Beanp(type=Item.class)
+ public ItemConsumer getItems() { ... }
+}
+```
+
+### Spring example (round-trip BeanChannel)
+
+```java
+// Factory creates a DB-backed channel that reads/writes via JDBC
+@Component
+public class ItemChannelFactory implements BeanFactory<ItemChannel> {
+ @Autowired DataSource ds;
+
+ @Override
+ public ItemChannel create() {
+ return new ItemChannel(ds);
+ }
+}
+
+@Bean(factory=ItemChannelFactory.class)
+public class ItemChannel implements BeanChannel<Item> {
+ private final DataSource ds;
+ private Connection conn;
+
+ @Override public void begin() throws Exception {
+ conn = ds.getConnection();
+ conn.setAutoCommit(false);
+ }
+
+ // Serializer calls iterator() — read mode
+ @Override public Iterator<Item> iterator() {
+ var rs = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM items").executeQuery();
+ return new ResultSetIterator<>(rs, Item::fromRow);
+ }
+
+ // Parser calls acceptThrows() — write mode
+ @Override public void acceptThrows(Item item) throws Exception {
+ var stmt = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO items (name, price)
VALUES (?, ?)");
+ stmt.setString(1, item.getName());
+ stmt.setBigDecimal(2, item.getPrice());
+ stmt.executeUpdate();
+ }
+
+ @Override public void onError(Exception e) throws Exception {
+ conn.rollback();
+ throw e;
+ }
+
+ @Override public void complete() throws Exception {
+ conn.commit();
+ conn.close();
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Spring example (top-level parsing)
+
+The `@Bean(factory=...)` on the class means the call site needs no special
annotation:
+
+```java
+// Parser sees ItemConsumer is a BeanConsumer, reads
@Bean(factory=ItemConsumerFactory.class),
+// fetches factory from BeanStore, calls factory.create(), drives lifecycle
+parser.parse(input, ItemConsumer.class);
+
+// Same for BeanChannel — parser sees it's a BeanConsumer (via BeanChannel
extends BeanConsumer)
+parser.parse(input, ItemChannel.class);
+
+// Serializer sees ItemChannel is a BeanSupplier (via BeanChannel extends
BeanSupplier)
+serializer.serialize(channelFactory.create(), output);
+```
+
+### `BeanContext.Builder.beanStore(BeanStore)` change
+
+`BeanContext` needs a `BeanStore` reference so sessions can resolve factories:
+
+- Add `BeanStore beanStore` field to `BeanContext.Builder` (uses the
`juneau-commons`
+ `BeanStore` interface — no layering violation)
+- In `RestContext.createBeanContext(BasicBeanStore beanStore, ...)`, add one
line:
+ `builder.beanStore(beanStore)` — the `SpringBeanStore` is already available
here
+- `SerializerSession` and `ParserSession` access it via `ctx.getBeanStore()`
+
+No Spring-specific types leak into `BeanContext` — it only knows about the
`BeanStore` interface.
+The `SpringBeanStore` implementation stays in the REST spring module.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Property-Level Annotation Support
+
+Due to type erasure, `Stream<MyBean>` or `BeanSupplier<MyBean>` on a getter
loses the `MyBean`
+type parameter at runtime. A new `elementType=` attribute is added to `@Beanp`.
+
+`elementType=` mirrors the semantics of the existing `type=` attribute (which
applies to the
+property itself) but applied to the **elements** within the
stream/supplier/consumer. It serves
+three purposes:
+
+1. **Type erasure resolution** — supply the generic `T` when it's lost at
runtime
+2. **Narrowing** — use a more specific subtype than the declared element type
+3. **Concrete implementation** — supply a concrete class when the element type
is abstract or an interface
+
+```java
+// Type erasure resolution — T cannot be inferred at runtime without this
+@Beanp(elementType=MyBean.class)
+public Stream<MyBean> getItems() { ... }
+
+// Narrowing — stream is declared as Animal but elements are always Dog
+@Beanp(elementType=Dog.class)
+public BeanSupplier<Animal> getItems() { ... }
+
+// Concrete implementation — element type is an interface; use ArrayList for
deserialization
+@Beanp(elementType=ArrayList.class)
+public BeanConsumer<List<String>> setItems() { ... }
+```
+
+`elementType=` is distinct from the existing `type=` (which specifies the
property's own
+implementation class). The framework determines directionality from the
property return/parameter
+type — no separate `streamType=` / `consumerType=` attributes needed.
+
+Changes to `BeanPropertyMeta.Builder.validate()`:
+- Detect `Supplier`/`BeanSupplier`/`Consumer`/`BeanConsumer`/`BeanChannel`
return/parameter types
+- Extract element type from `@Beanp(elementType=)`, falling back to generic
type inspection via
+ `ClassInfo` when the annotation is absent
+- Property getter returning `BeanSupplier<T>` or `BeanChannel<T>` on
serialization: call `begin()`,
+ iterate, call `complete()`
+- Property accepting `BeanConsumer<T>` or `BeanChannel<T>` on parsing: call
consumer per element
+
+**Getter-only `BeanConsumer`/`BeanChannel` properties** (no setter required):
+
+`BeanConsumer<T>` and `BeanChannel<T>` mirror the existing getter-only
collection reuse pattern —
+the parser calls the getter to obtain the consumer, then drives it via the
lifecycle protocol.
+No setter is needed:
+
+| Collection (existing behavior) | `BeanConsumer<T>` / `BeanChannel<T>` (new) |
+|---|---|
+| Get existing list via getter | Get existing consumer/channel via getter |
+| `list.clear()` | `consumer.begin()` |
+| `list.add(element)` per element | `consumer.acceptThrows(element)` per
element |
+| *(none)* | `consumer.complete()` |
+
+```java
+public class MyBean {
+ private final ItemChannel channel = new ItemChannel();
+ public ItemChannel getItems() { return channel; } // no setter needed;
round-trip capable
+}
+```
+
+`BeanPropertyMeta` changes needed:
+- Add a new `isBeanConsumer` branch alongside the existing `isCollection` /
`isMap` branches in
+ `set()` — matches both `BeanConsumer` and `BeanChannel` (since `BeanChannel
extends BeanConsumer`)
+- Set `canWrite = true` for getter-only `BeanConsumer`/`BeanChannel`
properties (mirrors collection
+ behavior at line 317: `canWrite |= (nn(field) || nn(setter) ||
isConstructorArg)` —
+ add `|| isBeanConsumer`)
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: CSV Integration
+
+CSV's row-per-bean model maps naturally to streaming:
+
+- **Serializer**: Accept `Stream<T>` / `BeanSupplier<T>` / `BeanChannel<T>` as
top-level input →
+ write header row from ClassMeta, then one data row per element (largely
works already via
+ existing STREAM support)
+- **Parser**: Accept `BeanConsumer<T>` / `BeanChannel<T>` as parser target →
parse header row,
+ then call `consumer.acceptThrows()` per data row
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Order

+7. ✅ `BeanSupplier<T>` lifecycle calls + direction validation in
`SerializerSession.serialize()`
+8. ✅ `BeanConsumer<T>` parse overloads + direction validation in
`ParserSession` + format implementations
+9. ✅ `@Beanp(factory=X.class)` attribute + property-level factory resolution
+10. ✅ `@Beanp(elementType=)` new attribute for streaming/consumer element type
declaration
+11. ✅ Property-level wiring in `BeanPropertyMeta`
+12. ~~CSV-specific integration~~ (cancelled - not required for initial
implementation)
+13. ✅ Tests for each phase (`BeanChannel_Test`, `BeanStreaming_Test`)
+14. ✅ `BeanChannel` round-trip tests in existing `RoundTrip` test suite
(`RoundTripBeanChannel_Test`)
+15. ✅ Update release notes (`RELEASE-NOTES.txt` 9.2.1 section)
+16. ✅ Update Javadoc overview; full Docusaurus docs pending (no Docusaurus
site in this repo yet)
