Class ServiceHelper

java.lang.Object

org.apache.aries.jndi.services.ServiceHelper

public final class ServiceHelper
extends Object

This helper provides access to services registered in the OSGi service registry. If a matching service cannot be located null may be returned. A caller should not expect to get the same object if multiple requests are made to this API. A caller should not expect to get a different object if multiple requests are made to this API. A caller should avoid caching the returned service. OSGi is a dynamic environment and the service may become unavailable while a reference to it is held. To minimize this risk the caller should hold onto the service for the minimum length of time.

This API should not be used from within an OSGi bundle. When in an OSGi environment the BundleContext for the bundle should be used to obtain the service.
