[jira] Commented: (EXLBR-4) resolution of components using /Selector semantics

The following comment has been added to this issue:

       Body:
As long as the *Selector interface is part of Avalon Framework, it must be supported.  Please note that there is a huge difference between supported and required.  The question then becomes what semantics do we want to use to know that we have a Selector that provides components of the type we want for the service interface we have.

In ECM, and consequently in Fortress, appending the name "Selector" to the key was an acceptable practice to guaranteeing that the selector was for the type needed.  In Merlin, and consequently the future, how is this going to be guaranteed?  Will it require a change to the meta info to know if we want the key accessed as a selector?  Perhaps that might be the best solution.

But as long as the selector is part of framework it must be supported.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: EXLBR-4
    Summary: resolution of components using /Selector semantics
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

    Project: Avalon Excalibur

   Assignee: 
   Reporter: Stephen McConnell

    Created: Wed, 17 Mar 2004 7:38 AM
    Updated: Wed, 17 Mar 2004 7:53 AM

Description:
Involves sorting out where /Selector is really required as opposed to factoring out the use of /Selector in favor of an explicit selection services (which in turn can be implemented with a facility).  Some initial actions toward this objective are in place under the merlin/facilities/finder subproject.

And we declare Merlin = AF5 Reference Container.

Done deal. 

Cheerio, old chap!

Which is fine.  I am behind that.  For now, the selector is part of AF4.

Simple solution, drop it from the spec.

That is why I like Aaron's original proposal, to move to a AF5 spec base, 
where we cut out all the cruft, such as the Selector.
