Pierre Bourret commented on FELIX-4116:
---------------------------------------

Work started here : 
https://github.com/bourretp/felix/tree/feature/component-listeners

Already got listeners for provided services and configuration.
For configuration, listeners are called when an _external_ reconfiguration_ 
occurs. Notifying listeners each time the POJO change a field value would 
dramatically slow down the component and expose inconsistent intermediate state 
to the listeners.

Listeners on service dependencies are ongoing...

> configuration properties, ...

> iPOJO offers the ability to be notified when a service arrives/is 
> modified/leaves a dependency. However this notifications happens _inside_ the 
> component, via dependency callbacks (@Bind, @Unbind, @Modified).
> What would be cool is to listen to this events _externally_, with listeners 
> on the DependencyModel.
> Is is possible right now to do this with a hack of the DependencyCallbacks 
> (lots of reflection, ugly code).
> So what just lacks is the API to register/unregister listeners + the listener 
> interface.
> Same thing for service providings : we should be able to be notified when a 
> component start/stop to provide a service. It is possible to listen to all 
> services with the good "instance.name", but this is not really elegant, and 
> there might be issues with isolated ServiceContext (composite). Registering a 
> listener on the ProvidedService seems a better approach IMO.
> Same point for configuration, like the @Updated callback, but external.
> For sure there are lots of other component things to listen to... ;)
