@Target(value=ANNOTATION_TYPE)
 @Retention(value=CLASS)
public @interface HandlerBinding

A @HandlerBinding bind its annotated type to a given handler. The handler name is specified as parameter using the 'namespace:name' format (qualified name).

     // Namespace and name will be inferred from the annotation's package name.
     @HandlerBinding()
     public @interface Foo {}

     // No namespace declared, default will be used ('org.apache.felix.ipojo')
     @HandlerBinding("foo")
     public @interface Foo {}

     // Namespace will be 'com.acme' and name: 'foo'
     @HandlerBinding("com.acme:foo")
     public @interface Foo {}

     // Provided namespace and value (for the name) will be used
     @HandlerBinding(namespace = "com.acme", value = "foo")
     public @interface Foo {}

namespace

public abstract String namespace

Defines the handler's namespace. Must be used in correlation with the value attribute.

     @HandlerBinding(namespace = "com.acme", value = "foo")
     public @interface Foo {}
 

Default:

"#"

value

public abstract String value

When used without the namespace attribute, defines both the namespace + name of a handler in a short notation (if no namespace can be found in the parameter - no ':' separator - fallback on iPOJO's default namespace):

     @HandlerBinding("com.acme:foo")
     public @interface Foo {}
 

When used with the namespace attribute, holds the name of the handler (without its namespace part):

     @HandlerBinding(namesapce = "com.acme", value = "foo")
     public @interface Foo {}
 

Default:

"#"
