Hi Felix users,
I wonder if anyone knows why the Felix @Reference annotations are valid on
fields, but not methods, whereas the opposite is true for the OSGi standard
@Reference annotation.
I would very much like to have a service bound, which I don’t keep a reference
to in the rest of my class (so that I can guarantee that code in the rest of
the class doesn’t depend directly on the reference). For example:
int value;
private void bindValueGetter(ValueGetter s){
value = s.getValue();
}
With the annotation on the field, I am forced to have a reference to the
ValueGetter, which might mislead programmers into using it - without the
reference there I can just keep the cached values when the service arrives the
first time and not have to document, etc that it might be null.
Thanks, Dan.
