Hello dear fellow OSGi devs,

I have the following simplified scenario in my Declarative Services based
project:

2 Components: Network and Login
Login depends on 1..1 Network component. Network takes care of connecting
and disconnecting from a given network.

I would like to make the Login component dependency on Network satisfied
only when the Network is actually connected, meaning the component would
only be activated after the "network.connect()" method is successfully
executed.

Approaches I have tried:
 - ConfigAdmin > Setting a property "isConnected" for the Network component
using the ConfigAdmin when the "connect" method is successfully executed
Result: Does not work, since changing the properties will require a
reactivation of the Network component, therefore recreating the component
and losing the connection.

- Events > Make login implement EventHandler and listen to Network events.
When event is "connected", react accordingly. the problem here is that the
component must be enabled to be able to actually receive events. and this
goes against the goal of only activating the component AFTER the network is
connected..

I have tried google, read the specs several times but could not yet think of
any suitable implementation , any ideas of how I could solve this?

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers!
