Translating this to a computational defintion - what you saying is that it would be better that this criteria be expressed in metadata (e.g. in the block defintion) as opposed to metainfo (e.g. via an interface or xinfo descriptor).
If that's a correct translation - then I agree.
I understand it as neither, more like;
public interface MyService { /** @avalon.requirement=explicit-release **/ static final String NORMAL_ROLE = "org.hedhman.niclas.MyService/normal";
/** @avalon.requirement=implicit-release **/ static final String LAZY_ROLE = "org.hedhman.niclas.MyService/lazy"; }
or something along these lines.
Declaring information in an interface is basically the same as declaring attributes inside a xinfo file - its metainfo declarring structural criteria. Declaring a release usage policy inside a block directive (metadata) is a different proposition because its information that is describing information about the handling of a partiular component type in a particular deployment scenario.
I would favour the declaration in metadata, not metainfo.
Stephen.
