[equinox-dev] framework shutdown and bundle listeners

["Rafael Chaves" <Rafael_Chaves@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Reading the OSGi spec, the semantics
of what happens w.r.t. events when shutting down the framework (e.g. with
"stop 0") are not clear:

According to section 4.19.2, when shutting
down the framework, these actions occur:

"1. The system bundle enters the
STOPPING state.

2. All ACTIVE bundles are suspended
as described in the Bundle.stop
method (...).

3. Event handling is disabled."

Will synchronous BundleListeners be
notified during step 2 (before the framework is shut down)? Can I assume
that asynchronous bundle listeners will never have a chance to be notified
because of step 3?

Thanks for any comments,

Rafael
