Listener for bundle consuming services [message #981537]

I'm looking for something that is able to listen for event on consumption of services. I know that on gemnini blueprint you can give a listener to a reference declaration (via reference-listener), but I'm looking for something more global. I would like to avoid giving to each reference a listener and instead using something more global.
Anyone could give me some hint on the matter ? I've been looking for listener.
The only thing I managed to use, is a declaration of an EventHandler service. The problem is that EventHandler only listen for registering services, not the consumption of a service.

The idea behind that is to start a bundle that will log registering services (already done) and services been consumed (aka reference bind/unbind in gemini blueprint).

Thanks.

You could try using the OSGi service registry hooks. But whether you'd want to is another matter...

I did some try with the OSGi service registry.
I tried with BundleContext.addServiceListener(), but as EventHandlers, only the registration fire an event. It seem that there is no native event on consumption of services, but only on registration of services.

So, I assume that there is no way to listen for services been consumed by other bundle, expect be directly putting the ReferenceListener on a blueprint (gemini) service consumption configuration.

Off topic: Gemini Blueprint home page seem to be linking to wrong urls (lots of 404)

Hi Mastah. I was referring to the service registry hooks rather than BundleContext.addServiceListener(). Please consult the OSGi core specification for details (chapter 55 of the OSGi Core 5.0 spec).

(Also the 404's seem to have gone away.)
