Publishing components via interface?

[dirk-mahler]

Hi,

is there a way to reduce the visibility of a components methods through an interface? Example:

public interface MyService {

  public void methodA();

}

@Name("myService")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
@Transactional
public class MyServiceImpl implements UserService {

  public void methodA() {
  ...
  }

  public void methodB() {
  ...
  }
}

What I'd like to see is that if using the component in a JSF it would only be allowed to use

#{myService.methodA}

but not

#{myService.methodB}

.

Thanks in advance!

No you can't, because if you're using an object(you can not refer to your interface) including a public methodB, anybody who uses  that object can use methodB. If you want to restrict access to that method, you can simply use @Restrict.
