40the annotations as normal annotations. These annotations are
41automatically processed by the iPOJO manipulator.</p>

353<p>It is possible to defines component type both in the metadata file
354(in XML) and by using annotation. However, if a component type defined
355by using annotations has the same name than a type define in the XML
356file, the XML descriptor override the annotation defined type. However,
