13 * Session-specific instance of the broker functionality.
16 * BindingAwareService is marker interface for infrastructure services provided
17 * by the SAL. These services are session-specific, each
18 * {@link BindingAwareConsumer} and {@link BindingAwareProvider} usually has own
19 * instance of the service with it's own context.
22 * The consumer's (or provider's) instance of specific service could be obtained by invoking
23 * {@link org.opendaylight.controller.sal.binding.api.BindingAwareBroker.ConsumerContext#getSALService(Class)}
24 * method on session assigned to the consumer.
27 * {@link org.opendaylight.controller.sal.binding.api.BindingAwareBroker.ConsumerContext}
28 * and {@link BindingAwareProvider} may seem similar, but provider provides YANG model-based functionality and
29 * {@link BindingAwareProvider} exposes the necessary supporting functionality
30 * to implement specific functionality of YANG and to reuse it in the
31 * development of {@link BindingAwareConsumer}s and {@link BindingAwareProvider}s.
33 * @deprecated Use {@link BindingService} instead.
