Description

I found an issue with the Aggregate Dependency with Field Injection where i have a list of "services" that i would like to maintain with a manager. The order of the services is important.

I noticed that the field injection, say:
@Component
public class HelloConsumer {
@Requires
private Hello m_hellos[]; // Array => Aggregate
public doSomething() {
for(int I = 0; I < m_hellos.length; i++)

{ System.out.println(m_hellos[i].getMessage()); }

}
}

The initial list when the instance is "created" appears to respect the SERVICE_RANKING, but subequent modifications (say you install a new bundle with an additional "hello") does not respect the SERVICE_RANKING in the order. I will have to end up do my own sorting on the list prior to using the field.

Is this normal? I feel that the SERVICE_RANKING should always be respected on the list of m_hellos[]s....
