I've added the following code to see what I'm actually getting back from the service lookup as below:
Object o = context.getService(ref);; Class c = o.getClass(); while(c != null) { System.err.println(">> ea service: " + c.getName()); c = c.getSuperclass(); } I get the following output: 02-02 16:27:43.049: WARN/System.err(12909): >> ea service: org.apache.felix.eventadmin.impl.security.EventAdminSecurityDecorator 02-02 16:27:43.049: WARN/System.err(12909): >> ea service: java.lang.Object So, something odd is certainly happening here.
