Interface ComponentConfiguration

All Known Implementing Classes:

ComponentConfigurationImpl

public interface ComponentConfiguration

The ComponentConfiguration groups all the information related to the Configuration of a Component. It provides access to parsed ObjectClassDefintion associated to this Component. ComponentConfiguration does not reuse the OSGi ObjectClassDefinition as the latter does not provide access to certain aspects such as the required attribute, the min and max values. Instead it returns the raw ObjectClassDefintion as parsed from the MetaType Information XML resource associated to this Component.

Method Summary

Map<String,Object>	getConfigurationProperties() Returns the Dictionary of properties currently used by this component.
OCD	getDefinition() Returns the raw ObjectClassDefinition as parsed from the MetaType Information XML resource associated to this Component.
String	getPid() Returns the PID (service's persistent identity) of the component associated to this Configuration.
