 * Wire Administration service.
 * 
 * 

* This service can be used to create {@code Wire} objects connecting a Producer * service and a Consumer service. {@code Wire} objects also have wire * properties that may be specified when a {@code Wire} object is created. The * Producer and Consumer services may use the {@code Wire} object's properties * to manage or control their interaction. The use of {@code Wire} object's * properties by a Producer or Consumer services is optional. * *

* Security Considerations. A bundle must have * {@code ServicePermission[WireAdmin,GET]} to get the Wire Admin service to * create, modify, find, and delete {@code Wire} objects. * * @noimplement * @author $Id: 783de096cb9644a2c5d0be1343a2f48c504a8a19 $ */ public interface WireAdmin { /** * Create a new {@code Wire} object that connects a Producer service to a * Consumer service. * * The Producer service and Consumer service do not have to be registered * when the {@code Wire} object is created. * *

* The {@code Wire} configuration data must be persistently stored. All * {@code Wire} connections are reestablished when the {@code WireAdmin} * service is registered. A {@code Wire} can be permanently removed by using * the {@link #deleteWire(Wire)} method. * *

* The {@code Wire} object's properties must have case insensitive * {@code String} objects as keys (like the Framework). However, the case of * the key must be preserved. * *

* The {@code WireAdmin} service must automatically add the following * {@code Wire} properties: *

    *
  • {@link WireConstants#WIREADMIN_PID} set to the value of the * {@code Wire} object's persistent identity (PID). This value is generated * by the Wire Admin service when a {@code Wire} object is created.
  • *
  • {@link WireConstants#WIREADMIN_PRODUCER_PID} set to the value of * Producer service's PID.
  • *
  • {@link WireConstants#WIREADMIN_CONSUMER_PID} set to the value of * Consumer service's PID.
  • *
* If the {@code properties} argument already contains any of these keys, * then the supplied values are replaced with the values assigned by the * Wire Admin service. * *

* The Wire Admin service must broadcast a {@code WireAdminEvent} of type * {@link WireAdminEvent#WIRE_CREATED} after the new {@code Wire} object * becomes available from {@link #getWires(String)}. * * @param producerPID The {@code service.pid} of the Producer service to be * connected to the {@code Wire} object. * @param consumerPID The {@code service.pid} of the Consumer service to be * connected to the {@code Wire} object. * @param properties The {@code Wire} object's properties.
