 <p>iPOJO defines several annotations to help developer to define their
 components. This page presents an example of iPOJO annotation and
 describes provided annotations.</p>

 <h1><a name="HowtouseiPOJOAnnotations-GettingiPOJOAnnotations:"></a>Getting iPOJO Annotations:</h1>

 <p>iPOJO Annotations are defines inside the
 org.apache.felix.ipojo.annotations project. You can download the Jar
 file of this project from the <a href="http://felix.apache.org/site/download.html" title="Download">download</a> page. Sources are available on the <span class="nobr"><a href="http://felix.apache.org/site/sourcecode.html" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow">Felix trunk<sup><img class="rendericon" src="how-to-use-ipojo-annotations_files/linkext7.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" width="7" height="7"></sup></a></span>.<br>
 Once added to your class path / build path / dependencies, you can use
 the annotations as normal annotations. These annotations are
 automatically processed by the iPOJO manipulator.</p>

 <h2><a name="HowtouseiPOJOAnnotations-InEclipse:"></a>In Eclipse:</h2>

 <p>Add the org.apache.felix.ipojo.annotations jar file in your build
 path. Do not forget to use a Java compiler accepting annotations (1.5
 or higher).</p>

 <h2><a name="HowtouseiPOJOAnnotations-InMaven:"></a>In Maven:</h2>

 <p>Add the following dependency:</p>
 <div class="code"><div class="codeContent">
 <pre class="code-xml"><span class="code-tag">&lt;dependency&gt;</span>
       <span class="code-tag">&lt;groupId&gt;</span>org.apache.felix<span class="code-tag">&lt;/groupId&gt;</span>
       <span class="code-tag">&lt;artifactId&gt;</span>org.apache.felix.ipojo.annotations<span class="code-tag">&lt;/artifactId&gt;</span>
       <span class="code-tag">&lt;version&gt;</span>1.0.0<span class="code-tag">&lt;/version&gt;</span>
 <span class="code-tag">&lt;/dependency&gt;</span></pre>
 </div></div>
 <p>Moreover, you need to set that the source code and the target code
 are Java 1.5 code. To achieve this, just add the following plugin in
 your plugins section:</p>
 <div class="code"><div class="codeContent">
 <pre class="code-xml"><span class="code-tag">&lt;plugin&gt;</span>
         <span class="code-tag">&lt;groupId&gt;</span>org.apache.maven.plugins<span class="code-tag">&lt;/groupId&gt;</span>
 	<span class="code-tag">&lt;artifactId&gt;</span>maven-compiler-plugin<span class="code-tag">&lt;/artifactId&gt;</span>
 	<span class="code-tag">&lt;configuration&gt;</span>
 	  <span class="code-tag">&lt;source&gt;</span>1.5<span class="code-tag">&lt;/source&gt;</span>
 	  <span class="code-tag">&lt;target&gt;</span>1.5<span class="code-tag">&lt;/target&gt;</span>
 	<span class="code-tag">&lt;/configuration&gt;</span>
 <span class="code-tag">&lt;/plugin&gt;</span></pre>
 </div></div>

 <h2><a name="HowtouseiPOJOAnnotations-InAnt:"></a>In Ant :</h2>

 <p>Just add the org.apache.felix.ipojo.annotations jar file  in your class path.</p>

 <h1><a name="HowtouseiPOJOAnnotations-Anexampleofusage:"></a>An example of usage:</h1>

 <p>To illustrate annotations usage, let taking the tutorial example. In this tutorial, there are two components:</p>
 <ul>
 	<li>The first one provides the hello service</li>
 	<li>The second one uses the provided hello service<br>
 You can download the archive containing the examples and a preconfigured version of Felix <span class="nobr"><a href="http://people.apache.org/%7Eclement/ipojo/tutorials/annotations/annotation-tutorial.zip" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow">here<sup><img class="rendericon" src="how-to-use-ipojo-annotations_files/linkext7.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" width="7" height="7"></sup></a></span>.</li>
 </ul>


 <h2><a name="HowtouseiPOJOAnnotations-HelloServiceProvider"></a>Hello Service Provider</h2>

 <p>The provider uses two annotations. The "component" annotation is
 mandatory and defines that the class defines a component type. Then the
 "provides" annotation just declare that the defined component type
 provides a service.</p>
 <div class="code"><div class="codeContent">
 <pre class="code-java"><span class="code-keyword">package</span> ipojo.example.hello.impl;

 <span class="code-keyword">import</span> ipojo.example.hello.Hello;

     }
 }</pre>
 </div></div>

 <h2><a name="HowtouseiPOJOAnnotations-HelloServiceConsumer"></a>Hello Service Consumer</h2>

 <p>The Hello Service Consumer use more annotations. First it used the
 component annotation. To defines its "immediate" behavior, it add the
 'immediate' attribute.<br>
 Then, it uses the requires annotation to define a service dependency.
 Finally, it uses the validate and invalidate annotations to define
 lifecycle callbacks.</p>

 <h2><a name="HowtouseiPOJOAnnotations-ExposinginstancesasaJMXMBean(externalhandler)\Newinthe1.1.0SNAPSHOTversion\"></a>Exposing instances as a JMX MBean (external handler) [New in the 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT version]</h2>

 <p>The JMX Handler allows exposing an instance as a JMX MBean. To
 configure the JMX handler directly from your code, three annotations
 are provided. They are in the <tt>org.apache.felix.ipojo.handlers.jmx</tt> package</p>

 <p>The <tt>@org.apache.felix.ipojo.handlers.jmx.Config</tt> (<tt>@Config</tt> if the package it correctly imported) annotation is a type annotation (so placed on the <tt>class</tt> element. This annotation indicates that the instance will be exposed as an MBean. This annotation supports:</p>
 <ul>
 	<li>usesMOSGi: set to <tt>true</tt> to use MOSGi. Otherwise, the MBean will be exposed in the MBean Platform Server (default: <tt>false</tt>).</li>
 	<li>objectname: set the MBean objectname. The objectname must follow JMX specification. (default: <tt>package-name:factory-name:instance-name</tt>)</li>
 	<li>domain: set the MBean domain. (default: <tt>package-name</tt>)</li>
 	<li>name: set the MBean name. (default: <tt>instance-name</tt>).</li>
 </ul>


 <p>The <tt>@org.apache.felix.ipojo.handlers.jmx.Property</tt> (<tt>@Property</tt>) annotation is a field annotation indicating that the field is exposed in the MBean. The supported attributes are:</p>
 <ul>
 	<li>name: set the property name</li>
 	<li>rights: set the access permission. Possible values are <tt>r</tt> (read only) and <tt>w</tt> (read and write). By default, properties are in read-only mode.</li>
 	<li>notification: enables notification on this property. By default notifications are disabled.</li>
 </ul>


 <p>The <tt>@org.apache.felix.ipojo.handlers.jmx.Method</tt> (<tt>@Method</tt>) annotation is a method annotation indicating that the method is exposed in the MBean. Only one attribute can be customized:</p>
 <ul>
 	<li>description: set the method description.</li>
 </ul>


 <h1><a name="HowtouseiPOJOAnnotations-Metadatafileandannotationmerge"></a>Metadata file and annotation merge</h1>

 <p>It is possible to defines component type both in the metadata file
 (in XML) and by using annotation. However, if a component type defined
 by using annotations has the same name than a type define in the XML
 file, the XML descriptor override the annotation defined type. However,
 a warning message is launched during the manipulation.</p>

 <h1><a name="HowtouseiPOJOAnnotations-Instancecreation"></a>Instance creation</h1>

 <p>Annotation can only be used to define component type. To define
 instances, you need to use the XML descriptor. Instance can refer to
 annotated types by referring to their names.</p>
