Comment #3 on issue 1586 by wozza.xing: SLEE 1.1 Extensions: Annotations
http://code.google.com/p/mobicents/issues/detail?id=1586
There are two definite categories of annotations I can identify.
Annotations which are declarative or descriptive i.e they typically replace
something in the descriptor xml file. e.g. @CmpField
Annotations which are dependencies i.e the code depends on their values to
run and would be looked up. e.g @Tracer, @SbbContext, @ACIF
Declarative annotations will be very specific to the jain slee xml grammar.
Dependency annotations can be described by the javax.annotation.Resource
and an optional name or mapped name attribute.
It looks like @ResourceAdaptorObject and @ACIF is both and should be split
to a class level declarative annotation and a field level @Resource
dependency annotation.
EventHandler would need a initial-event-selector array of
initial-event-select.
Also, if the dependency annotations support fields and members, but then
when would the member be invoked? before or after setContext? what if you
want to use one of these values on setContext or use the context when the
dependency is injected.
Btw I have been hanging out for these annotations for years, so I'm quite
excited it's finally getting some traction.
Please see http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=250 for additional information.
