Annotation Type ComponentId

@Target(value={FIELD,PARAMETER})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Documented
public @interface ComponentId

Marks a Component's ParameterModel as the Component ID. Being a Component ID means that the value associated to the annotated parameter can be used to reference the component in a mule application uniquely across all the instances of the same ComponentModel. When used on a global element of the application, then this Component ID serves as a global ID in the application.

An example of a ComponentModel ID is the name parameter of a config element.

Restrictions apply in order for a ParameterModel to be a ComponentModel ID:

• Only one parameter can be ComponentId for any given ComponentModel
• Only required parameters serve as Component ID
• The parameter's type has to be String
• The parameter's expression support will be ExpressionSupport.NOT_SUPPORTED, so no dynamic values are allowed
• Content qualifier is not allowed for a Component ID
• Text qualifier is not allowed for a Component ID
• Query qualifier is not allowed for a Component ID
• Defaulting to a ConfigOverride is not allowed for a Component ID since it describes the ID of each individual component and no common global value should be used as ID
