if you are talking about spifly I'd rather avoid that since it perverts the semantics of ServiceLoader.
In Geronimo we have something that while untested and needing to be added to the boot class path reimplements ServiceLoader to work with the ProviderRegistry and make ServiceLoader work with osgi. This does only work with apis that actually use ServiceLoader rather than the ones that just sort of act like they do.... thanks david jencks On Jul 12, 2011, at 3:38 PM, Daniel Kulp wrote: > > The issue is less the impl version than it is the api version.
