Felix Meschberger commented on FELIX-1686:
------------------------------------------
Actually, the spec prescribes the proposed behaviour and goes a step further:
>From 112.5.8, Activate Method:
If the activate attribute is specified and no suitable method is located,
SCR must
log an error message with the Log Service, if present, and the component
configuration is not activated.
Likewise for the deactivate method in 112.5.14, Deactivate Method.
> Missing activate or deativate methods show up as Error in LogService

> Key: FELIX-1686
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1686
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Declarative Services (SCR)
> Affects Versions: scr-1.2.0
> Environment: org.apache.felix.scr-1.0.9-SNAPSHOT
> Reporter: David Savage
> Assignee: Felix Meschberger
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: scr-1.2.0
>
>
> If no activate or deactivate methods are registered in the xml this is not an
> error as activate and deactivate methods are optional.
> However complexity arises if user explicitly sets an activate or deactivate
> methods in xml as in this case it probably is an error if the method is not
> found.
> Thought it worth registering this issue as it caused me some confusion when I
> saw it and I needed to go digging though the code to figure out that this was
> in fact harmless.
