[NEW ISSUE] Need to have a Name parameter on the @Service annotation

Raiser:        
       Mike Edwards

Target:        
       Java CAA spec - sca-javacaa-1.1-spec-cd01.doc

Description:

In the current specification, the name
of a service is fixed by the name of the interface which it implements.

This is very inflexible.  It is
desirable to permit the programmer to choose a name for a service which
is 

not related to the interface class which
it uses.

Proposal:

Add a new optional attribute to the
@Service annotation called names, which is an array of Strings.

If present, names must contain one String
for each interface contained in the interfaces

attribute of the @Service annotation
- with the sequence of names being the same as

the sequence of interfaces.  The
string contained in names is used as the name of the SCA service.

The following is a marked up version
of section 8.18 of the Java CAA specification which forms the

normative text of this proposal:

Yours,  Mike.
