Element Detail

value

public abstract String value

Override the default spring bean name to assign within this plugin for the imported OSGi service. Not usually needed.

The default is to use the imported interface name with the first character lowercased, e.g. this code will result in a bean name of contentService:

 @Named
 public class MyComponent {
     @Inject
     public MyComponent(@ComponentImport ContentService myExternalService) {
         // more stuff here
     }
 }
 

So you only need to set this if you want to override the default: e.g. if you're importing two services with the same classname from different packages, you need to set different names for them; or if you need specific bean names to use with @Qualifier("yourBeanName").

This name is local to this plugin's spring context; it's unrelated to the name of the bean (inside the product's or the providing plugin's spring context) that's exporting the service we're importing.

Default:
