Hi Scott, The answer is really that it depends. The OSGi service registry supports the registration of service instances and service factories. This means that when you see a service registered in the service registry the instance may already exist, or it may only exist as a result of you getting the service. You can also have services registered with prototype scope, meaning that new instances are created each time you request one.
If you’re using Declarative Services then the most likely scenario is that the service is registered before it is injected and activated. This is because DS components are lazy by default.
