[equinox-dev] Bundle with Extension can be invoked in RESOLVED state

[André Hildebrandt <myself@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I hope I have not totally missed the point, but I have a bundle, let's  
call it B, that contains an extension for an extension point defined  
in bundle A. When I invoke a servlet in bundle A the extensions for  
the extension point are read out and the extension implementations are  
instantiated. A method getName() is called on the instances to provide  
a list of the available extensions. This works fine. However if in the  
osgi console I enter "stop B" and invoke my servlet in bundle A, it  
still can (and does) access the extension implementation in B. I have  
verified the state of B by typing "ss" in the osgi console and I'm  
told its in the RESOLVED state. I can make my scenario work by  
executing "uninstall B", but am surprised that stop is not enought. I  
read the javadoc about what RESOLVED means, but somehow this did not  
IMO clearly state if a bundle in RESOLVED state can be accessed.  
Should a bundle that has been stopped still be accessible?

Best Regards,

André
