HostedCapability

All Superinterfaces:

org.osgi.resource.Capability

All Known Implementing Classes:

SimpleHostedCapability, WrappedCapability
```
public interface HostedCapability
extends org.osgi.resource.Capability
```
A capability hosted by a resource.
A HostedCapability is a Capability where the getResource() method returns a Resource that hosts this Capability instead of declaring it. This is necessary for cases where the declaring Resource of a Capability does not match the runtime state. For example, this is the case for fragments attached to a host. Most fragment declared capabilities and requirements become hosted by the host resource. Since a fragment can attach to multiple hosts, a single capability can actually be hosted multiple times.
