Annotation Interface ElementServiceImplementation

@Target(TYPE) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface ElementServiceImplementation
Specifies an implementation of a service. When placed directly on the type itself, the implementation will be the type itself. When used in the ElementService annotation, then this type's value() will be used to determine the implementation. The ElementLoader SPI implementation will determine exactly how implementations handle the ElementServiceImplementation.DefaultImplementation case. However, where the specification is explicit, the implementation must supply the type specified. Additionally, when placed directly on a type (as opposed to appearing in ElementService.implementation(), the loader must use that type unless otherwise specified.
