SCR/ Trying out the new "updated" Reference attribute

[Pierre De Rop]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to use the new "updated" attribute of the Reference element
(see FELIX-1893)

My SCR descriptor is like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<components xmlns:scr="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/scr/v1.1.0-felix";>
    <scr:component enabled="true"
name="org.apache.felix.scrplugin.sample.MyClient">
        <implementation class="org.apache.felix.scrplugin.sample.MyClient"/>
        <property name="service.pid"
value="org.apache.felix.scrplugin.sample.MyClient"/>
        <reference name="myService"
interface="org.apache.felix.scrplugin.sample.MyService" cardinality="1..1"
policy="static" bind="bind" unbind="unbindMyService" updated="updated"/>
    </scr:component>
</components>

and my component is defined like this, using the scrplugin annotations:

import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Component;
import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Reference;

public @Component(specVersion="1.1-felix")
class MyClient
{
    @Reference(bind="bind", updated="updated")
    MyService myService;

    void bind(MyService myService) {}
    void updated(MyService myService) {}
}

But I get this exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException

So, Am I correct with the spec specified in the annotation ? or may be this
is an issue ?

Thanks for your help;
