Actually, if it weren't that way then you pretty are forced to refresh every time you did an update because old clients would continue to be wired to the old version, but new clients wouldn't be able to, so you'd always be splitting the service space.
With this "leak" you actually have more flexibility if you update a provider with a simple bug fix. If it was importing / exporting its API then a refresh is not necessary to keep everyone in the same service space. However, if you always separate your API from the impl bundle, then you would likely not be impacted by such issues. -> richard "Ales Justin" <ales.jus...@gmail.com> wrote: >Wow, it gets even leak-ier. :-) > >So, I guess in standard server side it makes sense to do refresh when some >bundle goes away? >As that's definitely not how we would like to and actually don't handle things >in our (JBoss) kernel. >(that's by default, but we made it configurable -- kernel's OSGi facade has >OSGi spec's notion) > >Or how do other app servers handle this? > >-Ales > >On May 15, 2010, at 6:22 PM, Alan D.
