-------------------------------------

             Summary: TypeDeclarations for handlers do not expose namespace (explicitly)
                 Key: FELIX-4111
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4111
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: iPOJO
    Affects Versions: ipojo-runtime-1.10
         Environment: N/A
            Reporter: Pierre Bourret
            Priority: Minor


The TypeDeclaration services allows to retrieve the component types that have been declared, and their current status (bound/unbound , reason, ...)

However, there is something missing about iPOJO handlers : their TypeDeclaration services do not allow to retrieve their namespaces. For example, the dependency handler TypeDeclaration.getComponentName() method returns "requires".

It would be very appreciable to retrieve the namespace information via the getComponentName() method (or getComponentNameSpace() ?).

One possible workaround it to retrieve the namespace from the component metadata :
String ns = typeDeclaration().getComponentMetadata().getAttribute("namespace");

It is not very elegant since it relies on iPOJO internals (the metadata structure) and it returns null for iPOJO core handlers (instead of the "org.apache.felix.ipojo" namespace)
