[sca-j] ISSUE 96: Proposal - "Are
annotations allowed on static methods?"
ISSUE: Are annotations allowed on static methods?
PROPOSAL: SCA annotations are not allowed on static methods and static
fields. Add the following text at the end of line 872 (
sca-javacaa-1.1-spec-cd01, section 8).
As a general rule, SCA annotations are not allowed on static methods and
static fields. It is an error to use an SCA annotation on a static
method
or a static field of an implementation class and the SCA runtime MUST NOT
instantiate such implementation class.
RATIONALE:
The following are the SCA annotations that could be applied on static
fields and methods. The text next to each annotation explains a reason
for
disallowing the annotation.
@AllowsPassByReference - On service method of remotable service. Does not
make sense since remotable service methods can not be static.
@Callback - The callback is per implementation instance and since static
methods can only access static methods and fields
@ComponentName - Will be a problem since we don't restrict that an
implementation can be used at most once in an assembly.
@Context - Will be a problem since we don't restrict that an
implementation can be used at most once in an assembly.
@ConversationID - Will be a problem since we don't restrict that
an
implementation can be used at most once in an assembly.
@Destroy - Since this is invoked for each implementation instance
going
out of scope and since static methods can only access static
methods
and fields.
@EndsConversation - Not applicable since it is applied only on interface
methods.
@Init - Since this is invoked for each implementation instance coming
into
scope and since static methods can only access static methods and fields.
@OneWay - Applied on service method and service method cannot be static.
@Property - Will be a problem since we don't restrict that an
implementation can be used at most once in an assembly.
@Reference - Will be a problem since we don't restrict that an
implementation can be used at most once in an assembly.
