[jira] [Comment Edited] (FELIX-5543) Make component property types implement java.lang.annotation.Annotation properly

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5543?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15865523#comment-15865523 ]

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

Right now the component property type object returns {{null}} for all methods, which are not given in the {{HashMap}} in https://github.com/apache/felix/blob/trunk/scr/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/scr/impl/inject/Annotations.java#L246. 
Instead of the simple {{Handler}} class one must implement something similar to {{sun.reflect.annotation.AnnotationInvocationHandler}}.


was (Author: kwin):
Right now the component property type object returns {{null}} for all methods, which are not given in the {{HashMap}} in https://github.com/apache/felix/blob/trunk/scr/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/scr/impl/inject/Annotations.java#L246. This is not good, since each object in Java implicitly derives from https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html which mandates a certain implementation of those methods.
Instead of the simple {{Handler}} class one must implement something similar to {{sun.reflect.annotation.AnnotationInvocationHandler}}.

> Currently component property types only implement one getter method for each element. The methods {{toString()}}, {{equals()}}, {{hashCode()}} and {{annotationType}} are not implemented properly (i.e. all return just {{null}}). The component property type object actually implements {{java.lang.annotation.Annotation}} and therefore needs to implement its interface properly. The current implementation is clearly violating the contract of the {{java.lang.annotation.Annotation}}.
> For that the {{Annotations#toObject(...)}} needs to be adjusted in https://github.com/apache/felix/blob/trunk/scr/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/scr/impl/inject/Annotations.java#L41.
