Hi Mdu, indeed, it might be possible that the service consumer bundle is importing the package of the service it consumes from a bundle b1, while the service provider bundle is importing the package of the service from another bundle b2. in this case, the consumer won't see the service.
can you please provide the following: 1) the package name of the service the consumer is depending on; 2) from web console, go to OSGi -> Bundles, then click on the service provider bundle, and indicate what is displayed for the "Imported Packages" section. 3) do the same for the service consumer bundle. then we'll see if both service provider bundle and service consumer bundle are importing the service package from the same place. now, maybe it could also help to use the dm shell: if not installed, then install the dm shell bundle; and type "dm <id of the service provider bundle>", and provide what is displayed. then type "dm <id of the service consumer bundle>", and also provide what is displayed. the "dm na" displays all unavailable components, and the "dm wtf" display root causes which might block the activation of many components (for example, if A depends on B , and B depends on C, and C is unavailable, then "dm wtf" will only display "C"). you could also, if possible, provide the Activator code for both service consumer and service provider. (send it to me by mail, in case you don't want to do that in this mailing list ... if possible). cheers; /Pierre
