Enum Constant Details

RELUCTANT

public static final ReferencePolicyOption RELUCTANT

The reluctant policy option is the default policy option for both static and dynamic reference policies. When a new target service for a reference becomes available, references having the reluctant policy option for the static policy or the dynamic policy with a unary cardinality will ignore the new target service. References having the dynamic policy with a multiple cardinality will bind the new target service.

GREEDY

public static final ReferencePolicyOption GREEDY

The greedy policy option is a valid policy option for both static and dynamic reference policies. When a new target service for a reference becomes available, references having the greedy policy option will bind the new target service.
