Yes. Code in the ServiceTracker launched by ActivatorA does serviceImpl = getServiceImpl(); getServiceImpl() is abstract, and implemented by ActivatorB to return a ServiceImplB. If serviceImpl.showStatus() is called, ServiceImplA.showStatus() is run, unless ServiceImplB.showStatus() calls super.showStatus(). > >> >> I don't believe this is normal Java behavior.

Not sure I have an example I'd call simple, but I'll see what I can do. :) Thanks...
