Field Detail

REGISTERED

public static final int REGISTERED

This service has been registered.

This event is synchronously delivered after the service has been registered with the Framework.

BundleContext.registerService(String[],Object,Dictionary), Constant Field Values

MODIFIED

public static final int MODIFIED

The properties of a registered service have been modified.

This event is synchronously delivered after the service properties have been modified.

See Also:

ServiceRegistration.setProperties(Dictionary), Constant Field Values

UNREGISTERING

public static final int UNREGISTERING

This service is in the process of being unregistered.

This event is synchronously delivered before the service has completed unregistering.

If a bundle is using a service that is UNREGISTERING, the bundle should release its use of the service when it receives this event. If the bundle does not release its use of the service when it receives this event, the Framework will automatically release the bundle's use of the service while completing the service unregistration operation.

ServiceRegistration.unregister(), BundleContext.ungetService(ServiceReference), Constant Field Values

MODIFIED_ENDMATCH

public static final int MODIFIED_ENDMATCH

The properties of a registered service have been modified and the new properties no longer match the listener's filter.

This event is synchronously delivered after the service properties have been modified. This event is only delivered to listeners which were added with a non-null filter where the filter matched the service properties prior to the modification but the filter does not match the modified service properties.
