Hi Clement, Yes, I use the filter to make sure that the instance does not become valid until it has been intercepted - that part seems to work. However, in my case, the instance become valid AFTER my accept() method has been called but BEFORE my getServiceReferences() method has been called. This is causing my problems.
I'm a little curious regarding your wording: "A (mandatory) dependency becomes valid only if the selected service set is not empty. In other words, all your interceptors should have been called before deciding to set the dependency state to valid." I don't see how the first sentence has anything to do with the second sentence. I have a dependency declared as follows: @Requires(optional = false, id = "extenders", filter = "(intercepted=true)") private IRouteExtender[] mExtenders; Thus it is mandatory. Also, there are services of type IRouteExtender registered so that part is resolved. But until the accept() method has been called the "(intercepted=true)" part is not satisfied. When my accept() method has been called the "(intercepted=true)" part becomes satisfied and my instance becomes valid right away instead of waiting for the result of the getServiceReferences() method. This is the problem because in my getServiceReferences() method I evalutate the matching dependencies (by looking at a property) and determine that they are not valid. I therefore return an empty set of matching service references and the instance now becomes invalid. I do not think it should be possible to validate an instance "in the midst of intercepting" as is the case for me. I must be completely done intercepting first. /Bengt 2014-03-03 13:51 GMT+01:00 Clement Escoffier <[email protected]>: > Hi, > > On 3 mars 2014, at 13:14, Bengt Rodehav <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hello again Clement! > > > > Skiing trip is now over - time to get back to the interceptors... > > > > Regarding your questions in the last post: Yes, I only add a property on > > the chosen service reference (intercepted is set to true), I do not > change > > the filter. > > > > I have tested the theory regarding config admin / file install and it is > > not the problem. > > > > It seems to me that there is no guarantee that both accept() and the > > getServiceReferences() are both called before an instance becomes valid. > I > > haven't looked at the source code in detail yet but is the design such > that > > this is not supposed to be possible or am I requesting a new feature?
