Betreff: [sca-j] NEW ISSUE: ComponentContext.getProperty(...) ill defined

RAISER:   Mike Edwards 

TARGET: Description of 
ComponentContext.getProperty() method in Java Common Annotations & APIs, 
Section 1.7.1 

DESCRIPTION: 
 ComponentContext.getProperty(...) does not describe what should be 
returned in the following 
circumstances: 

Java class has 
a property identified with a @Property annotation on a setter method, with a 
private field having a 
default 
value:

private String location ="RTP";

@Property
public void setLocation(String location) {
    this.location = location;
}

...and 
there is no corresponding getter method for this property. 

What value can/should getProperty(...) return in these 
circumstances?  There is no getter method so how does it 
know what the actual value is?  It may be the 
default (which cannot be seen externally) or it may be a value 
supplied by SCA configuration. 

PROPOSAL:   None 


Yours,  Mike.
