>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: tapestry-ioc
>    Affects Versions: 5.3.0, 5.2.5
>            Reporter: Howard M. Lewis Ship
>            Assignee: Igor Drobiazko

> @Advise requires that you specify a service interface (there's no default value).  This is much more limiting than the advise method naming prefix, which will match all services (subject to the use of @Match), without regard to service interface.
> Further, inside ModuleImpl:
>     private boolean markerMatched(ServiceDef serviceDef, Markable markable)
>     {
>         if (!serviceDef.getServiceInterface().equals(markable.getServiceInterface()))
>             return false;;
> here, the Markable is the AdvisorDef2 instance generated from the @Advise annotation.  This is an exact comparison; I believe this should be:
>   if (! markable.getServiceInterface().isAssignableFrom(serviceDef.getServiceInterface())) return false;
> That, combined with a default of Object.class for @Advisor.serviceInterface would do the trick ... the @Advise.serviceInterface acts as an umbrella over any services' service interface.
> ..... ok, did more research and more stepping with the debugger.  The above should be fixed, but it's only the second case of matching, the primary match should be based on the @Match annotation ... but that's broken too:
> Frrom DefaultModuleDefImpl:
>     private <T extends Annotation> String[] extractPatterns(T annotation, String id, Method method)
>     {
>         if(annotation != null)
>             return new String[]{};
>        
>         Match match = method.getAnnotation(Match.class);
>         if (match == null)
>             return new String[]
>             { id };
>         return match.value();
>     }
> Here, the annotation is the @Advise annotation; I don't get why it returns empty string array; we should still see if there's a @Match annotation. Looking at the code, I can't see any reason why we would return that empty string array, the presense of the @Advise annotation (or for a decorator method, the @Decorate annotation) has no purpose I can figure out.
> In my situation, my advise method was not invoked because
> a) Primary check (by service id) failed, because the @Match annotation was ignored
> b) Secondary check (by service type and marker annotations) failed, because of inexact match on service interface
> So, the end result is the @Advise is only useful to advise a specific service interface, which is the opposite of what method advice is about ... it's supposed to match against a swath of services, adapting the advise to whatever methods are present in those services.
