[jira] [Commented] (SLING-2575) Utility for tracking a
multi-cardinality OSGi service reference
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2575?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13440399#comment-13440399 ]
Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-2575:
-----------------------------------------
Haven't looked at the patch in detail, however the code should not hold a sync lock when calling into the framework (this is a bug in the post servlet as well).
Have a look at the AdapterManagerImpl which does syncing at a minimum level

> Managing a SCR @Reference that's basically a list is very difficult when compared to the simple unary, static reference. It seems a typical use case is 0..n cardinality, dynamic policy and ordered by service ranking with the higher ranked ones first. This supports the use case to ask a list of services and have the first responding one win.
> There is the ServiceTracker [0], but its getServiceReferences() method does not return the list sorted in any way, only gives your references and not the typed object(s) and it's a bit cumbersome to use.
> A typical manual approach can be seen in the SlingPostServlet [1] in the register*() methods. Important is to handle thread-safeness.
