Hi Benson, A number of people are working on books about OSGi but AFAIK none of them are fully finished yet. I have always liked Neil Bartlett's OSGi tutorials as a starting point, you can find them here: http://neilbartlett.name/blog/osgi-articles/ Neil's also working on a book which I think you can download from the same site.
By the sound of it what you need is OSGi Services which provide a really nice pluggability point over a simple pojo Java API that you define yourself. Neil's tutorials do explain services. I've once written a services tutorial too, which you can find here: http://coderthoughts.blogspot.com/2007/11/osgi-services-for-dynamic-applications.html Oh and BTW Spring-DM makes using OSGi Services really easy. You can find more info about that here: http://www.springsource.org/osgi Hope it helps...
