Hi Alex,

what you do all sounds entirely reasonable. The one thing I wonder is from 
where your lookup originates. For the osgi:service to work, I believe the 
caller has to be a bundle in the same OSGi framework as the service. If you are 
doing the lookup out of say a JEE application it is not going to work. 

If you are using a bundle then I would try to see whether a lookup via the 
BundleContext works when JNDI doesn't (-> that would be a bug :). Otherwise, 
there might also be a class space incompatibility between the bundle that does 
the lookup and the one that has the service.
