iPOJO Future Ideas

Service Property Injection

Access to service properties is sometimes necessary to gain access to service configuration or as a way to defer service object creation. Currently, the only way to access service properties is via a service callback method that accepts a ServiceReference object. The downside of this approach is that it ties your component to the OSGi API. Other possibilities include adding support for:

1. Service callback methods with a Map parameter that accepts the service properties.
2. Service property injection into component fields.
