Warning - despite working on OSGi and Felix for years, I may be about to
sound like total noob!
Updating to latest Felix and bundles, we hit an odd startup freeze that
we never had before. Still digging for the cause.
I'm about to start digging in Start Levels code - but maybe someone
knows the answer to 1 question that's coming to mind.
We seem to be getting a scenario where our HTTP Service (which is at a
start level of 1) is getting blocked by bundles at a higher start level.
It's still trying to register it's service but I can also see bundles
with higher start levels already running.
I did a double take when I saw this in the stack traces. I thought a
framework would only move to the next start level once all bundles in
the current start level had actually completed their startup. But maybe
that's a misconception on my part ? Perhaps the API contract is only
that start has been invoked on all bundles in a start level before it
advances
