Re: [equinox-dev] enable/disable component event
|
Hello Kane,
It's not 100% clear from your description, but it sounds like you are
calling BundleContext.getServiceReference() immediately after calling
enableComponent, and expecting it to always return non-null. As you
have noticed, this is not the case. Not only do you have potential
race conditions because of asynchronous registration of the service,
but you might find that the service will never appear because of a
missing mandatory reference, or because of configuration policy.
The event you are looking for is simply ServiceEvent... but it is not
a good idea to program at such a low level. The best way to access the
service published by a DS component is to write another component that
has a reference to the first. DS will take care to only activate the
second component once the service from the first is published.
Regards,
Neil
