No problem! Actually, that is the whole idea. Read the documentation for BundleContext.getServiceReference() to see what happens when there are multiple services registered under the same name.
This is a very common use case. The OSGi has the whiteboard pattern that assumes many bundles use the same service interface to register a service under. The Service Tracker was made to track those services. http://www.osgi.org/documents/osgi_technology/whiteboard.pdf There are many use cases where it is very applicable to register multiple providers for the same service.

Will two services be jald> registered in the framework under the same classname? jald> Please note that the package in which this class resides is the same in both the bundles. jald> -- jald> Cheers jald> Joe jald> ---------------- jald> Visit my blog at http://djlolly.blogspot.com jald> * Believing in yourself is an endless destination; jald> But, believing your have failed is the end of the journey. jald> * A pound a fret cant pay an ounce a debt. -- Peter Kriens Tel +33467542167 9C, Avenue St. Drézéry AOL,Yahoo: pkriens 34160 Beaulieu, France ICQ 255570717 Skype pkriens Fax +1 8153772599 _______________________________________________ osgi-dev mailing list osgi-dev@bundles.osgi.org http://bundles.osgi.org/mailman/listinfo/osgi-dev
