No I didn't.
How does that work with existing instantiated objects?

When you refresh a bundle, any bundles that depend on it (e.g., import packages from it) will also be refreshed. This is equivalent to starting your bundle up from scratch. All old instances from any refreshed bundles should be forgot about and will eventually be garbage collected.

Subject: Re: Help understanding OSGi class loading

Did you refresh after doing the update?

Hi,

I've just been surprised by the behaviour of karaf/felix and I'd be grateful 
for some help understanding how this works.

My code is split into two chunks:

1.       A compiled bundle.

2.       A Spring XML file.
My intention is that the Spring file contains all the configuration relating to 
the piece of work, whilst the bundle contains the (more static) compiled code - 
with the intention of being able to update/replace the Spring file whenever I 
want.

I just found an error in the bundle and uninstalled it, but the bundle created 
for the Spring file is still running.

Does this mean that only OSGi services are dynamically removed, and if the 
Spring file directly references exported classes from a bundle then the classes 
are only resolved via OSGi when they are loaded?
In which case will restarting the Spring bundle clear it out adequately to 
ensure that it picks up a new compiled bundle?

Thanks

Jim
