Hi David, Your xml file is pretty simple to convert to standard blueprint:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <blueprint xmlns="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> <bean id="myBean" class="foo.MyBean" init-method="startUp" destroy-method="shutDown"> <property name="ordering"> <map> <entry key="BAR" value="1,2,3,4,5"/> </map> </property> <property name="dependentService" ref="dependentService"/> </bean> <service id="myBean" ref="myBean" interface="foo.IMyBean"> </service> <reference id="dependentService" availability="mandatory" interface="foo.IService"> </reference> </beans> The one caveat is that there is no standard version of the Spring specific configuration override: <bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyOverrideConfigurer"> <property name="ignoreResourceNotFound" value="true" /> <property name="locations" value="file:./my.properties"/> </bean> We could theoretically add something like this to the Aries blueprint implementation, but it would still be implementation specific. If you can give us some use cases we could start to work on it and see about feeding it back into the blueprint specification, however at the moment I can't see what problem it is trying to solve...
