FYI, Felix does have a metatype service: http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-metatype-service.html http://www.apache.org/dist/felix/org.apache.felix.metatype-1.0.4.jar also you can often mix service bundles between frameworks - for example, there is nothing Felix specific (afaik) about its metatype implementation so you could deploy it onto any other OSGi framework (equinox, KF, etc.) the same is true for most OSGi services, so feel free to mix'n'match thanks, > > John > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > -- Cheers, Stuart
