Description

Perhaps "autoconnect" to indicate that this parameter should default to the corresponding property of its container.

@Parameter(required=true, autoconnect=true)
private String _value;

would save from having to write:

@Inject
private ComponentDefaultProvider _defaultProvider;

Object defaultValue()
{
return _defaultProvider.defaultBinding("value", _resources);
}
