[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-25?page=comments#action_12369370 ]
Jean-Sebastien Delfino commented on TUSCANY-25: ----------------------------------------------- Here's what the SCA 0.9 spec says for @Properties: The @Property annotation may be used irrespective of the access modifier of the field (even private), since the access modifier defines the contract with the client of the component, whereas the @Property annotation specifies a contract with the container of the component. So for @Properties we should support all fields irrespective of their access modifier. I'll create a sub-issue to track the fact that the spec doesn't make an explicit statement about the access modifier for @Reference. Until the sub-issue is resolved I think we should assume that the correct behavior is the same as for @Property. > @Reference doesn't work on fields with protected or default access modifier > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TUSCANY-25 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-25 > Project: Tuscany > Type: Bug > Components: Java SCA POJO Container > Reporter: ant elder > > The @Reference annotation only works on a field which is private or public. > If the field is protected or uses the default access modifier then the > reference is silently ignored. > The section on @Reference in the SCA client and implementaion model for Java > doc doesn't clearly say if this is correct or not, but if private and public > work then it seems reasonable that the others should as well. > Looks like this is caused by > org.apache.tuscany.container.java.config.Java5ComponentTypeIntrospector > method introspectPrivateFields which ignores all fields which aren't private. > Also looks like the same problem will happen with @Property or when > annotating methods instead of fields. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
