/**
 * A Component Context object is used by a component instance to interact with
 * its execution context including locating services by reference name. Each
 * component instance has a unique Component Context.
 * 
 * 

* A component instance may have an activate method. If a component instance has * a suitable and accessible activate method, this method will be called when a * component configuration is activated. If the activate method takes a * {@code ComponentContext} argument, it will be passed the component instance's * Component Context object. If the activate method takes a * {@code BundleContext} argument, it will be passed the component instance's * Bundle Context object. If the activate method takes a {@code Map} argument, * it will be passed an unmodifiable Map containing the component properties. * *

* A component instance may have a deactivate method. If a component instance * has a suitable and accessible deactivate method, this method will be called * when the component configuration is deactivated. If the deactivate method * takes a {@code ComponentContext} argument, it will be passed the component * instance's Component Context object. If the deactivate method takes a * {@code BundleContext} argument, it will be passed the component instance's * Bundle Context object. If the deactivate method takes a {@code Map} argument, * it will be passed an unmodifiable Map containing the component properties. If * the deactivate method takes an {@code int} or {@code Integer} argument, it * will be passed the reason code for the component instance's deactivation. * * @ThreadSafe * @noimplement * @author $Id: 4f87f06a8d2bcbda855799d0323582eb6164f99b $ */ public interface ComponentContext { /** * Returns the component properties for this Component Context. * * @return The properties for this Component Context.
