When a bundle is updated to a new version, users of the old version do not automatically switch to the new version. Yet the old version is stopped, that is all services unregistered (amongst other things) and the new version is started (all services registered amongst other things). To get users of the old version fully in-line with the new version of the bundle, the framework has to rewire these users to the new bundle version. This is not done automatically but can be triggered by calling the PackageAdmin.refreshBundles(Bundle[]) method. This fixes the wirings of the bundles given as arguments. If null is given all bundles are rewired. After rewiring the everyhting operates as if the new bundle version was always in place the old version was never there. Hope this helps.
