The JavaDoc reflects section 6.1.23.6 and more accurately reflects the
intent of section 5.9.1. That last sentence, to my mind, is just
plain inaccurate and dangerous.

I think you are not correct.
If a bundle has no wire to the package, which system bundle
shouldn't since it cannot import, then it should get back all
service references. I think the spec assumes you are using
reflection if you have no wire to the package. I cannot remember if
this behavior is spec'ed some place but I thought so. At least
that's what we do in Felix (and Equinox, I believe).
ah... 5.9.1 of the core spec:
"The service registry must therefore ensure that bundles can only
see services that are not
incompatible with them. A service is not incompatible with the
bundle getting the service when
that bundle is not wired to another source class loader for this
interface package than the
bundle registering the service. That is, it is either wired to
the same source class loader or
it has no wire for that package at all."
but I think Alan has a point that if you read the javadoc for
ServiceReference.isAssignableTo()
it does seem to apply a stronger rule: that is it returns true if
both bundles use the same source
for the package, otherwise false
so if the bundle providing the service has a wire, and the bundle
using the service doesn't have
a wire, does that mean they use the "same source" for the package?
(isAssignableTo() == true)

After reading the core spec it seems that if I look for service
using the system bundle context, I will never be able to find any
application specific service. Let me explain my reasoning and
maybe someone can show me where my disconnect is occurring.
Upon reading the definition of the getServiceReferences() method I
see that isAssignableTo() must be called with all the service
interfaces and the bundle that is being used to perform the "call"
to getServiceReferences().
It seems to me that if I pass the system bundle to isAssignableTo()
I will get false for just about all the application specific
service interfaces.
If that is true then it seems that I will not be able to retrieve
most service references with the system bundle.
Am I correct?
