Konrad Windszus commented on FELIX-5543:
----------------------------------------
Right now the component property type object returns {{null}} for all methods,
which are not given in the {{HashMap}} in
https://github.com/apache/felix/blob/trunk/scr/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/scr/impl/inject/Annotations.java#L246.
This is not good, since each object in Java implicitly derives from
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html which mandates
a certain implementation of those methods.
> Make component property types implement java.lang.annotation.Annotation as
> well

> Key: FELIX-5543
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5543
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Declarative Services (SCR)
> Affects Versions: scr-2.1.0
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
>
> Currently component property types only implement one getter method for each
> element. The methods {{toString()}}, {{equals()}}, {{hashCode()}} and
> {{annotationType}} are not implemented.
> At least the toString() should be implemented in a way, that doesn't just
> return {{null}}.
> I think it would be reasonable for all component property types to implement
> {{java.lang.annotation.Annotation}} appropriately (as specified by the
> javadoc in
> https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/annotation/Annotation.html}}.
> For that the {{Annotations#toObject(...)}} needs to be adjusted in
> https://github.com/apache/felix/blob/trunk/scr/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/scr/impl/inject/Annotations.java#L41.
