@Route annotation missing name attribute?

[edevera]

In opposition of what a user can do with the @Service annotation by setting a different name for the service from the actual name of the interface, when using the @Route annotation, there is no way to define a different name. So the service name is based on the interface narrowing down the flexibility in comparison with the @Service annotation.

Wouldn't it make sense to allow users to change this default name to one of their choice?

Just an oversight.  I agree it would be nice to have this capability.  Can you file a JIRA?  If you want to submit a patch for it, that would be great too!  :-)

Sure!

You can find the ticket on the following url: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SWITCHYARD-921

I will try to make some time in order to submit a patch (as a pull request from what I understood from SwitchYard Development page).

RIght, pull request is the way to go.  BTW, here's the commit that added support for the service name parameter on the @Service annotation:

Might be useful as a reference in terms of which files need to be touched.
