Class RankedServices<T>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.sling.commons.osgi.RankedServices<T>

Type Parameters:

T - Service type

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<T>

@ProviderType
public final class RankedServices<T>
extends Object
implements Iterable<T>

Helper class that collects all services registered via OSGi bind/unbind methods. The services are ordered by service ranking and can be iterated directly using this object instance. Implementation is thread-safe.

Usage example:

1. Define a dynamic reference with cardinality OPTIONAL_MULTIPLE in your service:

 @Reference(name = "myService", referenceInterface = MyService.class,
     cardinality = ReferenceCardinality.OPTIONAL_MULTIPLE, policy = ReferencePolicy.DYNAMIC)
 private final RankedServices<MyService> myServices = new RankedServices<MyService>(Order.DESCENDING);
 

2. Define bind/unbind methods that delegate to the RankedServices instance:

 void bindMyService(MyService service, Map<String, Object> props) {
   myServices.bind(service, props);
 }
 void unbindMyService(MyService service, Map<String, Object> props) {
   myServices.unbind(service, props);
 }
 

To access the list of referenced services you can access them in a thread-safe manner:

 for (MyService service : myServices) {
   // your code...
 }
 

Optionally you can pass in a RankedServices.ChangeListener instance to get notified when the list of referenced services has changed.

Constructor Detail

RankedServices

@Deprecated
public RankedServices()

Deprecated. Use #RankedService(Order)) to explicitly give the order.

Instantiate without change listener in ascending order (lowest service ranking first).

RankedServices

@Deprecated
public RankedServices(RankedServices.ChangeListener changeListener)

Deprecated. use RankedServices(Order order, ChangeListener changeListener) instead

Instantiate with change listener in ascending order ((lowest service ranking first).

Parameters:

changeListener - Change listener

RankedServices

public RankedServices(Order order)

Instantiate without change listener but with a given order.

Parameters:

order - the order in which the services should be returned in iterator() and get(). Either Order.ASCENDING or Order.DESCENDING. Use Order.DESCENDING if you want to have the service with the highest ranking returned first (this is the service which would also be chosen by BundleContext.getServiceReference(String)).

Since:

2.4

RankedServices

public RankedServices(Order order,
                      RankedServices.ChangeListener changeListener)

Instantiate with change listener.

Parameters:

order - the order in which the services should be returned in iterator() and get(). Either Order.ASCENDING or Order.DESCENDING. Use Order.DESCENDING if you want to have the service with the highest ranking returned first (this is the service which would also be chosen by BundleContext.getServiceReference(String)).

changeListener - Change listener

2.4

iterator

public Iterator<T> iterator()

Iterates all services registered in OSGi, sorted by service ranking (either ascending or descending depending on the order given in the constructor).

Specified by:

iterator in interface Iterable<T>

Returns:

Iterator with service instances.
