      @AliasFor("name") String value
      The name of the service being connected to. Container names are used to determine the connection details that should be created when a technology-specific Container subclass is not available.

      If not specified, and if the Container instance is available, the repository part of the docker image name will be used. Note that Container instances are not available early enough when the container is defined as a @Bean method. All @ServiceConnection @Bean methods that need to match on the connection name must declare this attribute.

      This attribute is an alias for name().

      Returns:
      the name of the service
      See Also:
      Default:
      ""
