| /** |
| * Annotates a method which will be invoked when the component is started. |
| * The annotated method is invoked juste before registering the service into the OSGi registry |
| * (if the service provides an interface). Notice that the start method may optionally return |
| * a Map which will be propagated to the provided service properties.<p> |
| * Service activation/deactivation can be programatically controlled using {@link LifecycleController}. |
| * |
| * <h3>Usage Examples</h3> |
| * <blockquote> |
| * |
| * <pre> |
| * @Component(properties={@Property(name="foo", value="bar")}) |
| * class X implements Z { |
| * @ServiceDependency |
| * OtherService m_dependency; |
| * |
| * @Start |
| * Map start() { |
| * // Our Z Service is ready (all required dependencies have been satisfied), and is about to be |
| * // registered into the OSGi registry. We return here an optional Map containing some extra-properties |
| * // which will be appended to the properties supplied in the Component annotation. |
| * return new HashMap() {{ |
| * put("foo2", "bar2"); |
| * put(Constants.SERVICE_RANKING, Integer.valueOf(10)); |
| * }}; |
| * } |
| * } |
| * </pre> |
