• Corresponding Java construct : One or more classes
• Corresponding java annotation :
  • target class or interface @InComponent(annotationsource, nameofthecomponent)

• Corresponding java construct : one or more interfaces , or a set of methods from a class
• Corresponding java annotations :
  • target class @provided(annotationsource, nameofthemodelinterface, nameofthejavainterface) *target method @provided(annotationsource, nameofthemodelinterface)
  • target attribute @required(annotationsource, nameofthemodel_interface)

things to think about later : (temp requirement passed as parameters …)

• Corresponding java construct : The main class of a component
• Corresponding java annotation :
  • target class @initclass(annotationsource, nameofthecomponent)
  • target method @initmethod(annotationsource, nameofthecomponent)

 Gilles: name_of_the_component seems redundant because the method or the class should already belong to  a component ( see InComponent annotation)

things to think about later: (consistency rules needed? is having several initclasses, methods in a component legal ? )

Do we need it ? We already know methods from the provided annotation

• Corresponding java construct : Method
• Corresponding java annotation :
  • target method @

Business methods have to be singled out

Goal: identify parameters of business methods
Problem: String or int may be used as business object sometimes and sometimes not

• Corresponding Java construct : class or interface
  • target Class or Interface @businessparametertype(annotationsource) *target method @businessparameter(annotationsource, parameter_name) (this one takes precedence over the previous one)

things to think about later: another annotation could be for abstracting data : telling that an integer only has a few cases…

Business Types have to be annotated. In some cases (library without accessible source code) they can't be, so a textual configuration file will be used to list them or to list non-business types. White list, black list, regular expressions over full name ?
