public class ApplicationServiceEvent
extends ServiceEvent

An event from the Framework describing a service lifecycle change.

ApplicationServiceEvent objects are delivered to a ApplicationServiceListener objects when a change occurs in this service's lifecycle. The delivery of an ApplicationServiceEvent is always triggered by a ServiceEvent. ApplicationServiceEvent extends the content of ServiceEvent with the service object the event is referring to as applications has no means to find the corresponding service object for a ServiceReference. A type code is used to identify the event type for future extendability. The available type codes are defined in ServiceEvent.

OSGi Alliance reserves the right to extend the set of types.

Creates a new application service event object.

Method Detail

getServiceObject

public java.lang.Object getServiceObject()
This method returns the service object of this service bound to the listener application instance. A service object becomes bound to the application when it first obtains a service object reference to that service by calling the ApplicationContext.locateService or locateServices methods. If the application is not bound to the service yet, this method returns null.

Returns:
the service object bound to the listener application or null if it isn't bound to this service yet.
