Annotation Type Match

public @interface Match

Optional, but typically used, annotation for service decorator methods, used to define which services the decorator applies to. This annotation defines a number of patterns that allow services across multiple modules to be selected. A decorator is applied to a service if any of its patterns match the service.

TODO: Describe pattern glob-match syntax

When the Match annotation is not supplied, then the decorator only applies to a single service: the service whose id matches the decorators id; that is, method decorateMyService() would decorate only the service provided by the buildMyService() method, within the same module.
