      additional guarantee with respect to application context creation and
      start levels:</p><p>Application context creation happens asynchronously. However, the
      extender bundle does guarantee that the creation of all application
      contexts for bundles at start level <code class="literal">n</code> will be
      complete before the creation of any application context at start level
      <code class="literal">m</code>, where <code class="literal">m &gt; n</code>. Care must
      therefore be taken not to introduce any mandatory dependencies on
      services exported by bundles with higher start levels or a deadlock will
      be introduced.</p><p>In a similar vein, when shutting down the extender bundle,
      application contexts at start level <code class="literal">m</code> will be shut
      down before application contexts at start level <code class="literal">n</code>,
      where <code class="literal">m &gt; n</code>.</p></div></div><div xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="appendix-tips.html">Prev</a>&nbsp;</td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right">&nbsp;<a accesskey="n" href="appendix-osgi-repo.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Appendix&nbsp;C.&nbsp;Useful OSGi tips&nbsp;</td><td width="20%" align="center"><span style="color:white;font-size:90%;"><a href="http://www.SpringSource.com/" title="SpringSource - Spring from the Source">Sponsored by SpringSource
