Not at this time (that I am aware of). But I think that the new Service Loader Mediator specification is probably what you want here. Specifically the Service Provider portion 133.4. The XML parser spec, 702, is essentially a very early service provider implementation. The new spec generalizes this and uses the new capability/requirement model. See http://blog.osgi.org/2013/02/javautilserviceloader-in-osgi.html for information about the implementation in Apache Aries. You just need the Service Provider part (register OSGi services based upon META-INF/services information) and not the service consumer part since, I assume, you will just use them as OSGi services. -- BJ Hargrave Senior Technical Staff Member, IBM OSGi Fellow and CTO of the OSGi Alliance [email protected] office: +1 386 848 1781 mobile: +1 386 848 3788
