Annotation Type Service

@Target(value=TYPE)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface Service

The @Service annotation is used on a component implementation class to specify the SCA services offered by the implementation. The class need not be declared as implementing all of the interfaces implied by the services, but all methods of the service interfaces must be present. A class used as the implementation of a service is not required to have a @Service annotation. If a class has no @Service annotation, then the rules determining which services are offered and what interfaces those services have are determined by the specific implementation type.
