My OSGi adventure continues... I have a bundle "Client" and bundle "Server". In Client's activator it invokes code in Server, returning an object from Server, let's call it server.A. A is defined in Server. Client then registers A as a service:
context.registerService(A.class, (A) serverClass.getA(), new Hashtable()); This works when it is first run. If I then update Client and Server bundles, the Client Activator gets run again. This time I get a ClassCastException saying "server.A cannot be cast to server.A". So I guess the classloaders are different for the A that is returned by Server to the one Client sees. Given both bundles were updated at the same time, why is this? I make use of package versioning, if this is important. A's package, server, was not updated, and its version was not incremented. Was the code in Client using the old version of server.A? I guess registering A as a service in Client, rather than Server, is opposed to most sample code I see but is it the cause of the problem? If classloaders work on a per package level then it won't help will it? Thanks, Dan
