Configuration Binding issues

Question

Hi All,
I am creating a service, and supplying some default values for the configuration via properties. but when i am deploying the code - the configuration itself indicates unbound, until i save it and any changes i create a lost when i redeploy the bundle.
@Component(name = MyService.PROCESS_PID, description = "Custom Service", label = "Custom Service", metatype = true, configurationFactory = false, immediate = true)
@Service
@Properties({
                    @Property(name = "service.pid", value = MyService.PROCESS_PID),
                    @Property(name = "service.description", value = "Custom Service"),
                    @Property(name = MyService.PATHS, description = "Please add paths", label = "paths", value = "/content,/etc", cardinality = 10),
                    @Property(name = "service.vendor", value = "Adobe") })
public void activate(ComponentContext componentContext) {
                    log.info("Entering activate method.");
                    @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
                    Dictionary properties = componentContext.getProperties();
                    this.paths = MyUtil.convertToStringArray(properties
                                        .get(MyService.PATHS));
                    log.info("Exiting activate method.");
I also see the activate method getting called, but i still see this issue
What am i missing here, Thanks in Advance

I saw you have missed your service interface class association through which it will bind with sling script helper. I hope you have created the service interface let say "MyService" and above class which is an implementor will refer to interface like below
@Service(value=MyService.class)
