/**
 * The {@code ServiceTrackerCustomizer} interface allows a
 * {@code ServiceTracker} to customize the service objects that are tracked. A
 * {@code ServiceTrackerCustomizer} is called when a service is being added to a
 * {@code ServiceTracker}. The {@code ServiceTrackerCustomizer} can then return
 * an object for the tracked service. A {@code ServiceTrackerCustomizer} is also
 * called when a tracked service is modified or has been removed from a
 * {@code ServiceTracker}.
 * 
 * 

* The methods in this interface may be called as the result of a * {@code ServiceEvent} being received by a {@code ServiceTracker}. Since * {@code ServiceEvent}s are synchronously delivered by the Framework, it is * highly recommended that implementations of these methods do not register ( * {@code BundleContext.registerService}), modify ( * {@code ServiceRegistration.setProperties}) or unregister ( * {@code ServiceRegistration.unregister}) a service while being synchronized on * any object. * *

* The {@code ServiceTracker} class is thread-safe. It does not call a * {@code ServiceTrackerCustomizer} while holding any locks. * {@code ServiceTrackerCustomizer} implementations must also be thread-safe. * * @param The type of the service being tracked. * @param The type of the tracked object. * @ThreadSafe * @author $Id: 0c3333455f7d80a7793c77ac9671baa4a02a89b9 $ */ @ConsumerType public interface ServiceTrackerCustomizer { /** * A service is being added to the {@code ServiceTracker}. * *
