Class ServiceSelectorImporter<T>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.polygene.api.service.importer.ServiceSelectorImporter<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

ServiceImporter<T>

public final class ServiceSelectorImporter<T>
extends Object
implements ServiceImporter<T>

If several services are available with a given type, and you want to constrain the current module to use a specific one, then use this importer. Specify a Specification<ServiceReference<T>> criteria as meta-info for the service, which will be applied to the list of available services, and the first match will be chosen. This importer will avoid selecting itself, as could be possible if the ServiceQualifier.first() filter is used.
