RE: [equinox-dev] Huge log file if org.eclipse.equinox.log.jar is not	started when trying to start a DS with a reference to an	inexisting interface
 | 
Hello,
 
Along with the issue, described below, for which I 
opened a bug (282142), we observed also the following: when this situation 
occurs, if the bundle org.eclipse.equinox.log.jar is installed but not started, 
we receive 10 MB of logs - in 10 files, 1 MB each. If the log is started, there 
is only one small log file with three exceptions. The exceptions in both cases 
are essentially the same, but in the case with the huge logs the exceptions 
are repeated many times and the stacktraces are much longer - cycles are 
observed in the them. Nothing in the stacktraces makes a hint that the problem 
may be in the log service being stopped. 
 
Is this a normal behavior when the log service is not 
started, or should I open a bug for it?
 
In bug 282142 there are attached sample bundles to 
reproduce the below described issue. The problem with the logs is reprodueced by 
following the steps from the bug description, once with the log service started, 
and once with it stopped.
 
Kind regards,
Lazar
 
Hello,
 
We are using 
declarative services and we came across the following situation. There are two 
components, A and B. A provides an interface and B references this 
interface. If the interface which A provides does not exist, or is not 
implemented, when the framework tries to create an instance of component B, a 
warning that there is probably a circular dependancy is logged. This does not 
help to find the real problem - that the interface does not exist and there is 
no such service. 
 
In 
ComponentReference.getMethod(...), if the result of the call 
InstanceProcess.staticRef.getService(...) is null, then it is assumed that 
serviceObject cannot be created because of circularity. But 
InstanceProcess.staticRef.getService(...) returns null both when there is 
circularity and when the service object cannot be retrieved from the bundle 
context. 
 
Also, if the 
component state is checked with the component command, it is Satisfied, saying 
in the dynamic information part that all references of the component are 
satisfied. 
 
Is this the intended 
behavior of DS?
 
Kind 
regards,
Lazar
