Hello Tom, 

Ah, now I fully understood what was happen in my tests here. many thanks 
for the explanation. 

about the R6 spec you referred, it is the RFC 198 - System Bundle and 
Framework Hooks ? 

best regards,

Cristiano

No matter how you get your service hooks registered there is always a 
timing issue to contend with.  Any bundles that interact with the service 
registry before your hooks are registered will see the services you may be 
trying to hide.  Out of necessity service hooks are low level and need to 
be registered with the system as early as possible.  Using DS or any other 
extender to get your service hooks registered places just one more 
dependency from your hook implementation which means more things need to 
get started before your service comes on line.  This risks leaking the 
service you want to hide.

The recommended approach is to register your service hooks using the the 
BundleContext directly from a bundle activator and set the start-level of 
your bundle to the lowest possible start-level before all other bundles 
get started.  In the future R6 core spec you may even consider using a 
framework extension so your hooks are in place before the framework is 
even started.

Tom

like to use FindHook and EventListenerHook to restrict service

Hello OSGi experts,

I would like to use FindHook and EventListenerHook to restrict service 
wiring for some packages.

I know they can be registered using DS as any other service.

But my doubt is, if I use DS to register the FindHook and 
EventListenerHook I still be able to interfere in the way services are 
wired or will be too late?

btw, when DS will not be a good choice and I'll need to go to 
BundleActivator ?

thanks a lot for any tip,

regards,

Cristiano
