Re: [sca-j] When more than one interface with the same unqualified nameused in the @Service annotation
Mike,

There is a third option:

- Make this an error case.  One
of the Java interfaces needs to be renamed to resolve the conflict.

My preference is option 3.  I don't
like option 2.  I could live with option 1.

Note that options 1 and 3 are not incompatible.
 Even if we go for option 1, we have to say what happens if the alias
name isn't specified.  In this case I believe the result should be
option 3, not option 2.

Re: [sca-j] When more than one interface

Vamsi, 

You have found a hole in the specifications, I think.

I am not in favour of having the whole qualified interface class name used
as the service name. 

I suggest the following set of changes - I'm interested in see folks' reactions
to these suggestions 

before I raise a formal Issue: 

- Permit the @Service annotation to provide a name for the service, independent
of the name of the 

interface class (I'm surprised that we don't have this already)

- Where the default name is being used, derived from the name of the interface
class, if two services 

end up with the same name, I suggest appending "_n" to the end
of the name for the 2nd and subsequent 

services with the same name, where "n" is a number that starts
with 1 and increments by 1. 

Yours,  Mike.

[sca-j] When more than one interface
with the same unqualified name used in the @Service annotation

sca-javaci-draft-20070926.doc

Java Component Implementation Specification Version 1.1 draft - Section
-

2.1:

The service name computed from @Service annotation is the unqualified name

of the class/interface specified in the annotation.  What happens
when

there is more than one interface with the same unqualified name (as given

in the example below) used in the @Service annotation?

package mypkg1;

public interface HelloService {

   String hello1(String msg);

}

package mypkg2;

public interface HelloService {

   String hello2(String msg);

}

@Service(interfaces = {mypkg1.HelloService.class,

mypkg2.HelloService.class})

public HelloServiceImpl implements mypkg1.HelloService, mypkg2.HelloService

{

   public String hello1(String msg) {

       return "hello1 " + msg;

   }

   public String hello2(String msg) {

       return "hello2 " + msg;

   }

}

Is it an error?  Should the service name include package name of the

interface/class as well?
