Folks,
Controlling whether reinjection is allowed
AT ALL for a component is relatively simple in
my opinion:
- if a component does not want reference
reinjection to occur, ever, then the implementation
simply declares the reference annotation
on a constructor parameter and does not
provide the reference via either a field
or via a setter method. If the reference is only
injectable via the constructor then
it can never be changed by the container.
This simple design choice allows complete
control by the developer of the implementation.
Yours, Mike.

It's simple, just not well expressed. I'm wondering
if there are cases
where a component implementation might want to delay or "opt out"
of
re-injection either permanently or temporarily. There might be cases
where
a particular component implementation really can't tolerate a re-injection.
I was thinking out loud about using concurrency control as a temporary
means to delay re-injection. There are other ways. Maybe a different
approach like an annotation @AllowsReinjection (or the opposite) is
sufficient.
I understand that what you are proposing is optional for a runtime to
support, but for those runtimes that do support it, each component
implementation might need to have a say in how it works. Still thinking
out loud....

reinjection

Michael,
And tagging on a few more questions:
1) I presume that the use of setter based injection
would allow for]
concurrency serialization by the component implementation
so that it
could:
stabilize it's use of references. This brings
up an interesting
question;:
is there (or should there be) some linkage between
the lifecycle of
the
target service and these references? Just because
a ref target has
been
altered, does not mean that the target service is
gone. It's the
lifecycle
of that target service which will determine how long
a reference
remains
usable after a wiring change occurs. Just raising
the question for
now
because it will affect all the component's whose references
can't be
re-injected.
[MR: I’m sorry, but I don’t follow you.]
2) I'm curious about your introduction of InvalidServiceException.
We
already have ServiceUnavailableException. I
think there's room to
clarify
the wording of SUE to make room for ISE..
[MR: I think that a service that has been correctly identified, but isn’t
currently available is quite different from a service that is incorrectly
identified (it isn’t in the logical domain). As such, I think it
deserves
a different exception.]
3) +1 to Mike E.
[MR: No objection from me.]

RE: [sca-j] ISSUE 4 -
Dependency
reinjection
Michael,
Thanks for the proposal. It is good to have
something concrete as it
help
crystallise the
issues.
Please help me understand the rationale for treating
Composite-scoped
components
differently from Conversation scoped components.
Both types of component have an extended lifecycle.
Both may easily
have a
lifecycle
that spans changes in configuration that affects their
references,
even
where those
references are not conversational and do not in themselves
involve
some
extended
lifetime. Why is it justified to change references
in the one case
and not
allow changes
in the other case?
Yours, Mike.
