RE: [equinox-dev] Issue with declarative services implementation?

["Chris Hopkins" <chopkins@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeremy -

So, I added immediate="true" to the instantiator XML. I realize that not
having the implementation class be public is the underlying reason but I
see the same behavior where the container is still started. Would I get
any indication that the instantiator service failed to start without
enabling some kind of logging?

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

I believe you ran into DS' lazy loading of implementation classes.
Since your component configurations checked out, DS went ahead and
registered a ServiceFactory proxy in place of your
com.cra.shared.instantiator.Instantiator.  At this point, the service
was actually provided.  Once the com.cra.shared.container.Container
came along and actually requested the service object, DS's
ServiceFactory proxy attempted to instantiate the service object and
it bombed.  This would not have happened if you had declared the
Instantiator as an immediate component.  The lazy instantiation of
component objects is outlined in the DS spec.

Hope that helps,
Jeremy
