Re: [equinox-dev] DS optional cardinality question

Yes. If you want to delay activating the listener component until they are
actually needed, then you need to use the lookup strategy.

Re: [equinox-dev] DS optional cardinality question
I think this is working as designed. Declarative Services will call the
bind method on Manager before it calls Manager's activate Method. It does
not matter that the reference is optional. The "optional" setting only
controls whether the Manager will be activated or not - it has no bearing
on the lifecycle of Listener1 or Listener2.

[equinox-dev] DS optional cardinality question
I have a simple collaborator pattern where a Manager component has a
optional multiple reference to several Listener services as shown below:
<component
name="Manager" immediate="true">
<implementation class="com.ibm.listener.Manager"/>
<reference
name="Listener"
interface="com.ibm.listener.Listener"
cardinality="0..n"
policy="dynamic"
bind="addListener"
unbind="removeListener"
/>
</component>
<component
name="Listener1">
<implementation class="com.ibm.listener.Listener1"/>
<service>
<provide interface="com.ibm.listener.Listener"/>
</service>
</component>
<component
name="Listener2">
<implementation class="com.ibm.listener.Listener2"/>
<service>
<provide interface="com.ibm.listener.Listener"/>
</service>
</component>
Components Listener1 and Listener2 are not immediate components, where as
the Manager component is. I would think that DS will activate Manager
component without having to activate Listener1 or Listener 2 as they are
not immediate components, and they are not mandatory for Manager (0..n
cardinality). However, when I ran this example (with M5 bundles), both
Listener 1 and Listener 2 were activated and injected into Manager
component. Could this be a bug ?
