Annotation Interface ElementServiceExport

@Repeatable(ElementServiceExports.class) @Target(TYPE) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface ElementServiceExport
Exports the target type making it available in the ServiceLocator methods. Specifically, this means that when calling methods such as ServiceLocator.findInstance(Class), the type must bear this annotation or it must be specified via ElementService.export() annotation. Note, this does not specify an implementation and should be specified separately using the ElementServiceImplementation annotation.

      Class<?>[] value
      Gets a list of all exposed which this service exposes in addition to the specified type. This can be useful if, for example, an interface implements multiple interfaces which should be exposed separately. If left empty, then only the annotated type (or type specified in ElementService.value()) will be exposed. If specified, this will expose only the types explicitly mentioned in the value.
