Hi Neil, I agree but what I mean is... Bundle A has the service which Bundle B refers... (Bundle A is stopped) what I intend to do is when I start Bundle B it should look up and recognize that it refers to Bundle A for a service... but Bundle A is stopped so is there a possibility to start the Bundle A at that moment.
If I am wrong somewhere wrt to DeclarativeServices ... please let me know...
