Osgi Declarative service conditional binding

Viewed 3202

I have this scenario, I have three declarative services that provide the same interface (say a reader interface and I have readerimpl1-database- readerimpl2-flat file- readerimpl3-memory). I want to have a consumer that binds only to the database implementation. In the component definition we give it a name so I am pretty sure that the name is in the registry so if I were to add an activate method I can lookup from the component context using the name.

I want to try to it via the bind/unbind though using the service name as the parameter. I am pretty sure that the "target" parameter in the component reference element can be used to do this but I have not found how to use it.

Has anyone else done this?

This would be similar to using @Reference(mapped-name="foo")
