Will do. Thanks for the pointer. :)

Perhaps you should look at the OSGi Event Admin spec, which is a pub/sub

Is it possible to use the whiteboard pattern for an event-driven
application?
I have a prototype of what I want to accomplish using the listener
pattern. I experienced first-hand the extra admin of getting service
references, etc. I've read a couple of the tutorials which describe
using the whiteboard pattern in OSGi but they aren't event-driven. The
timing of these examples is controlled by the event-listener, not the
event source. I need the interaction to take place when the event
occurs, not when the listener gets around to it.
Am I missing something obvious or should I just stick with the listener
pattern?
Perhaps another way to ask this is, what is the best way for an
event-driven app to use the OSGi service registry?
Thanks,
Tim
