Hi all... I've been having a problem with method overrides in Felix. Generalized scenario:
Two bundles: BundleA and BundleB. BundleB's ActivatorB extends BundleA's ActivatorA. ActivatorB does not define a start() method. BundleB's ServiceImplB extends BundleA's ServiceImplA. ActivatorA is abstract and has an abstract method getServiceImpl(), which returns a ServiceImplA. ActivatorB implements this method, returning an instance of ServiceImplB. ServiceImplA is abstract and has a non-abstract method showStatus(). ServiceImplB overrides showStatus(). BundleA is resolved and does not have a Bundle-Activator. BundleB is resolved and has ActivatorB as a Bundle-Activator. When BundleB is started, ActivatorA.start() instantiates and starts an extension of ServiceTracker, myServiceTracker. myServiceTracker.addingReference() calls getServiceImpl() for a ServiceImpA and calls showStatus() on it. If ServiceImplB.showStatus() calls super.showStatus(), ServiceImplB.showStatus() is called. If ServiceImplB.showStatus() does not call super.showStatus(), ServiceImplA.showStatus() is called. I don't believe this is normal Java behavior. I believe in a command-line-JVM situation, ServiceImplB.showStatus() would always be called, whether or not it called super.showStatus(). So is this an idiosyncracy of classloaders in Felix?
