Method Detail

createServiceProxy

ProxyPlusCallback createServiceProxy(org.osgi.framework.ServiceReference reference)

Create a service proxy for the given service reference. The proxy purpose is to transparently decouple the client from holding a strong reference to the service (which might go away) and provide various decorations.

The method returns a container object with the proxy and a destruction callback for it (normally an invocation interceptor). The same functionality can be achieved by casting the proxy to Advised but for security reasons (users could disable the proxies themselves) the proxies are now created in an opaque manner.

Parameters:

reference - service reference

Returns:

the proxy plus a destruction callback to it
