------------------------------------

Hi Clement,

I'm very impressed about your response and implementation speed.

Unfortunately I have a problem to use the new feature. As soon as I add the 
annotation the class seems not to be loaded anymore.
I'm quite new to OSGi and may not have found all the debug switches, but right 
now I can't see any errors anywhere. Actually I don't see any OSGi 
framework-level errors at all, so I always have to guess why a class was not 
loaded. Since I'm not using BND yet, I usually forget an import in the manifest.

I'd be grateful for a hint on how to improve my debugging.

> It often occurs that a configuration/property change requires some work to be 
> done. If only a single property is affected method injection can be used.
> If multiple properties are changed and these changes are kind of an atomic 
> transaction, there is no (sensible) way to tell the service to use the new 
> values.
> Imagine a service listening on a port and writing the output to a file. The 
> service has the two string properties "port" and "file". When the service is 
> validated, it opens a listening port and a writable file according to the 
> properties. Now imagine it is either dangerous to have a port input written 
> to the wrong file or opening ports and files is very costly or there is 
> already an object doing the work for us but it needs to be constructed with 
> port number and filename and cannot be changed at runtime. Therefore we 
> cannot use method injection like
> @Property(name="port")
> public void setPort(String port)
> {
>    incomingSocket.close();
>    incomingSocket=new IncomingSocket(port);
> }
> because that is costly and leaves the possibility to have things written to 
> the wrong file.
> Therefore something like
> @Updated
> public void updatedConfiguration()
> {
>   // put changed configuration in use
> }
> is needed. The method annotated with @Updated (or specified in XML) is to 
> called after all the configuration changes are done.
> Right now, the only way is to stop and start the service since only one 
> ManagedService per PID is recognized by ConfigurationAdmin.
