[equinox-dev] DS in fragment bundle

[Lukasz Bobowiec <Lukasz.Bobowiec@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have one question whether OSGi fragment
may expose some declarative services that will be attached to a host bundle?

In the old Eclipse Equinox DS implementation
I found that not. In the org.eclipse.equinox.ds.Activator
class there is the following code:

         
      PackageAdmin packageAdmin = (PackageAdmin)
packageAdminTracker.getService();
         
      if
(packageAdmin.getBundleType(bundle) != 0) {
         
              return
null;
// don't process fragments.
         
      }

What does the OSGi specification say
about this behaviour? Fragments should not be processes?
