# Annotation Type Match

@Target(METHOD) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Documented @UseWith(SERVICE_DECORATOR) 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.
