This generic capability can be provided by the Wire Admin specification, which allows you to define components and wire them together. How you wire stuff is something you can configure, so you can either write a component that automatically creates wires, or you create a GUI that allows the user to create them. As far as I know there is not "off the shelf" component that does that for you. A Java library we have used to graphically chain components is Ptolemy II (see http://ptolemy.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/), which is a very flexible toolkit and includes both a runtime and GUI editors. In this case you need to OSGi-ify this library yourself (which I know is possible since we did that in a commercial project).
