Package dev.getelements.elements.sdk.annotation

Annotation Interface ElementService

@Target(PACKAGE)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Repeatable(ElementServices.class)
public @interface ElementService

Defines a service provided by the element. This annotation must accompany the same Package which bears the ElementDefinition, or else it will be ignored. If the ElementServiceExport appears directly on a type, then this does not need to appear on the package definition as well. This is useful for when a element may export services in third-party libraries where it may not be able to modify the original code. (eg, when the database element exposes the raw JDBC object it uses).
