Aha! Found this (http://blog.akquinet.de/2009/10/21/the-osgi-framework-multiplication-a-rfc-138-overview/) presentation on the topic. Not the 4.3 spec... guess it is not public yet? > >From experience, nested frameworks do work, but if anything in the parent > >changes, you still need to restart all child containers.

Yea, I now restart all tenants upon refresh in parent container. Guess it could be a litlle more subtle, but is is really must diffrent to a flat container in terms of lifecycle? In the latter case a rewire also requires a stop/start of each bundle and thus service? What kind of tooling did you find missing? I was pondering one a shell (command) that lets you cd into a tenant. Right now I'm using the remote shell as a workaround. Futhermore the standard sling webconsole want be suffiecient. More.. ?
