Not sure we are one the same line here: the current Felix MetaType implementation already provides access to all unknown attributes it reads from a MetaType XML Resource, see [1] and [2]. This also can be used to create them programmatically for use in your MetaTypeProvider. As I see it, it should solve your 1st and 3rd requirement... 1. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/felix/trunk/metatype/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/metatype/OptionalAttributes.java?revision=1399637 2. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/felix/trunk/metatype/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/metatype/AD.java?revision=1653581 -- Met vriendelijke groeten | Kind regards Jan Willem Janssen | Software Architect +31 631 765 814 My world is revolving around INAETICS and Amdatu Luminis Technologies B.V.
