getService

<ServiceType> ServiceType getService(java.lang.Class<ServiceType> serviceType)

Lookup a single service.

If multiple such services exist, the service with the highest ranking (as specified in its Constants.SERVICE_RANKING property) is returned. If there is a tie in ranking, the service with the lowest service ID (as specified in its Constants.SERVICE_ID property); that is, the service that was registered first is returned.

This is equal to the semantics from BundleContext.getServiceReference(Class).

Type Parameters:

ServiceType - The type (interface) of the service.

Parameters:

serviceType - The type (interface) of the service.

Returns:

The service instance, or null if no services are registered which implement the specified class.

getServices

<ServiceType> ServiceType[] getServices(java.lang.Class<ServiceType> serviceType,
                                        java.lang.String filter)

Lookup one or several services.

The returned array is sorted descending by service ranking (i.e. the service with the highest ranking is returned first). If there is a tie in ranking, the service with the lowest service ID (as specified in its Constants.SERVICE_ID property); that is, the service that was registered first is returned first.

Type Parameters:

ServiceType - The type (interface) of the service.

Parameters:

serviceType - The type (interface) of the service.

filter - An optional filter (LDAP-like, see OSGi spec)

Returns:

An array of services objects or null.

Throws:

InvalidServiceFilterSyntaxException - If the filter string is not a valid OSGi service filter string.
