NEW ISSUE: Service name conflict between @Service and @WebService

Target: CAA Spec CD04 and JCI Spec CD2

Description: The CAA spec defines rules
in section 10.28 for the name of a service exposed by an implementation
with an @Service annotation.  Section 11.1 of the spec defines rules
for the service name when an implementation class or an interface is annotated
with @WebService.  Section 8.2.1 of the JCI spec also has rules for
the service name in the presence of an @WebService annotation.

These rules can be in conflict if both
@Service and @WebServices annotations are present.  For example:

 

@Service(ServiceWithName.class)

public class serviceWithNameImpl implements ServiceWithName {

        ... 

} 

and 

@WebService(name="AnnotationName") 

@Remotable 

public interface ServiceWithName { 

        ...        

} 

The @Service annotation would imply that the service name of a component
using serviceWithNameImpl as an implementation would be ServiceWithName
but @WebService annotation requires the service name to be AnnotationName.

Proposal:  We either need to require
an error to be raised or define the precedence of the two annotations.
