> I'm attempting to move some code from Equinox to Felix that makes use of the
> declarative services 1.1 runtime. Many of the components in our bundles
> declare multiple 'provide' elements in the service declaration . In general
> these services consist of a standardized interface in one package and
> extensions to that interface in another. Depending on the requirements of
> the code using the component, other bundles will declare their components
> with references to either the standardized interface or the extended
> interface.
> The issue I'm seeing is that the Felix SCR fails to activate some components
> because it's failing to resolve references to the service provided by another
> component. It turns out that the SCR is using
> BundleContext.getServiceReferences instead of
> BundleContext.getAllServiceReferences to locate candidate services when
> resolving references. Unfortunately, the getServiceReference flavor requires
> that the using bundle have access to all class names under which the target
> service was registered - not just the interface associated with the reference.
> Given the use-case I've described and the behavior of Equinox, I believe the
> Felix SCR should be using BundleContext.getAllServiceReferences(..) to
> resolve references and rely on the bundle creator to define the correct
> imports.
