Marcel Offermans created FELIX-4357:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Support types beside String/String[] in @Property
annotation.
Key: FELIX-4357
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4357
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Dependency Manager
Reporter: Marcel Offermans
Priority: Minor
The dependency manager has an extension that allows you to use annotations to
specify components, services and their dependencies. One of the supported
annotations is @Property, which allows you to specify service properties.
However, the values it supports are just String and String[], so if you need
other types (for example when specifying a service ranking) you are out of
luck. You can use the "workaround" described in the javadoc, which is to use a
@Start annotation and method, but it would be more convenient if @Property had
support for arbitrary types (for example by just making the value an Object).
This issue is about discussing and potentially adding such support.
