Question

I am using Apache Felix and its Declarative Services (SCR) to wire the service dependencies between bundles.

For example, if I need access to a java.util.Dictionary I can say the following to have SCR provide one:

/** * @scr.reference name=properties interface=java.util.Dictionary */  protected void bindProperties(Dictionary d) { }  protected void unbindProperties(Dictionary d) { } 

Now, I have more than one Dictionary service available, and I want to filter them using the ‘name’ service property (I only want ‘name=myDictionary’). I can do that with code (using a ServiceTracker), but I’d rather specify the filter in the @scr annotation instead.

Answer 1

I think

target='(name=myDictionary)' 

should do the trick in the @scr.reference annotation. See http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-maven-scr-plugin.html
