Description

I recently found a very strange behavior with one of my components:

1. there is a static bound setter for a service X
2. in case of injection of X I call a method an perform some action on it
3. if it now happens that a ClassCastException is thrown this seems to be silently ignored
4. my activate method is called and the service seems to be registered sucessfully

This is very bad, because I only noticed that something was wrong because it failed then later on and everything looks "normal" (no entry in the OSGi log for example, component seems to be activated...)
