Felix Meschberger commented on SLING-6578:
------------------------------------------
bq. service.pid is not reliable - with a DS component you only have a
service.pid if the component is configurable through an OSGi configuration and
such a configuration exists.
This is not entirely correct, fortunately. You can very well add a service.pid
property to the component properties e.g. through the @Property annotation.
This is actually stipulated by the quote on merging service.pid property values
in my previous comment.
> Use "service.pid" property instead of class name to reference validators

> Leveraging the component's "service.pid" property value instead of its
> classname is more stable (even if implementation changes, the PID might stay
> the same) and also allows for configuration factories to refer to a specific
> validator configuration. The fallback should be the property "component.name"
> as "service.pid" is not always necessarily set. Basically the validator
> should be referable via each of those value, i.e. one of the "service.pid"s
> or the "component.name".
