After reading some code changes of the geronimo-kenel in the sanbox, I found that we keep the Geronimo kenel as an OSGI service, and each Configuration ( or a bundle) will search it and start the configuration as we do in the past while starting. I have a feeling that, if we do that, Geronimo is still a part of OSGI env, could we make the Geronimo is an OSGI env? Could we publish GBeans as OSGI service via a ConfigurationActivator, or though a GBean-OSGI adapter ? Thanks !
