Hi,

I have read, that the Eclipse4 DI framework does reinject a service if it has changed. Does it do this in a "silent way" or what opportunity has the "client" to react on this change?

E.g. I use a service to get instances from a database. If that service stops running, I want to remove the instances from the ui. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks!

If you use method injection your method gets called and you can react on
that.

suppose you have

@Inject
public void doStuff(IMyService service){blablabla}

There are two alternatives:
1. you get IMyService through a context function
2. you get it directly from an IEclipseContext

1: If any value in the context which is used to compute the IMyService runtime class changes then the IMyService is reinjected and the method is re-called with the new value

2: If you change it through something like

eclipseContext.set(IMyService.class, myNewServiceObject)

the method is also re-called with the new value.

Hi!

That's cool: and when I add @Optional the method is called when the service stops too!

Thank you both!

@Optional prevents it from being called when it becomes null.

So do I misunderstand something? I thought that @Optional does not prevent the method call, but does not throw an exception. When I want to be noticed about a service stops, how do I implement this then?

It depends what you mean by "service stops" do you have a mechanism to null the service in the context when something happens? The framework can not "automatically" check and act when a service "stops" as it is a bit ambiguous what you call stop.

@Sopot: I think you've got a criss-cross in your post Wink

: @Optional allows (not prevents) the value to be injected with null

I have an OSGi Service that provides DAOs. When dependencies are no longer fulfilled, the service is deactivated and so not anymore reachable.

Of course if the OSGi services is stopped than the field or method injection will be performed again if you use @Optional. Have a look at the Javadoc of @Optional it depends where you use it.
