Element Detail

value

public abstract Class<?> value

The service type.

Returns:

the service type

effective

@Directive
public abstract String effective

The effective time of the osgi.serviceloader and osgi.extender requirements.

Specifies the time the service loader requirements are available. The OSGi framework resolver only considers requirements without an effective directive or effective:=resolve. Requirements with other values for the effective directive can be considered by an external agent.

If not specified, the effective directive is omitted from the requirement clause.

Default:

""

cardinality

public abstract Cardinality cardinality

The cardinality of this requirement.

Indicates if this requirement can be wired a single time or multiple times.

If not specified, the cardinality directive is omitted from the requirement clause.

Default:

aQute.bnd.annotation.Cardinality.DEFAULT

resolution

public abstract Resolution resolution

The resolution policy of the osgi.serviceloader and osgi.extender requirements.

A mandatory requirement forbids the bundle to resolve when this requirement is not satisfied; an optional requirement allows a bundle to resolve even if this requirement is not satisfied.

If not specified, the resolution directive is omitted from the requirement clause.

Default:

aQute.bnd.annotation.Resolution.DEFAULT
