Hi David, This means that having an untyped map of configuration data is in most cases not what you want. More convenient is to convert it to a typed api. Using the OSGi converter to create an annotation instance is a very convenient way to do this. Annotations are particularly useful since they allow you to specify defaults too.
The converter spec at https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/util.converter.html#util.converter-maps just under table 707.5 has an example of this. The converter allows you to do this anywhere you like; Declarative Services also has this functionality built-in. There it's called 'component property types'. Hope this helps, David On Tue, 17 Dec 2019 at 06:56, David Leangen via osgi-dev < osgi-dev@mail.osgi.org> wrote: > > Hi! > > I have a question about the Configurator spec.
