Child classes are scanned automatically for various annotations and interfaces.

= ANNOTATIONS =

Annotations are used to declare and initialize services:

• Declare a service. This can be done on a class or static factory-method. Supported annotations:
  • @service NAME: Set the name of the new service.
  • @serviceTags TAG-1,TAG-2: Declare additional tags for the service.
  • @internal: Generate a hidden/automatic name. Limit discovery of the service.
• Initialize the service by calling methods. This works with factory-, constructor-, and setter-methods.
  • @inject SERVICE-1,SERVICE-2: Call the method automatically. Pass a list of other services as parameters.
• Initialize the service by assigning properties. Any property may have these annotations:
  • @inject SERVICE: Lookup the SERVICE and set the property. If the SERVICE is blank, then it loads an eponymous service.

For examples of using these annotations, consult the tests or the Developer Guide:
