Thanks Diane. We just fixed it. Seems like the moment you post to the list in desperation, the answer appears. Wonderful magick.
Turns out our initialization is so crazy complicated we were wait()-ing the UI thread (instead of the worker thread we thought we were on) waiting for the service connection to fire. Well, not too surprisingly, hanging the UI thread keeps stuff from happening.... Not sure what the best idiom is for insuring a service is up before you proceed, but that's another (straightforward) problem. -- Ward At 10:16 AM -0700 5/15/09, Dianne Hackborn wrote: >Are you passing the flag to have the service created?
