yes. The R6 version of DS does too. (build it yourself from felix scr trunk at this point).
My opinion on DS vs blueprint: The proxies are sort of irrelevant. With DS, with a mandatory dynamic reference, your component will be present when at least one instance of the required service is available and not present otherwise. If you change the target of the reference by starting the new service and then stopping the old one, then your component will just switch without any interruption. To me the biggest functional advantage of DS is the really good integration with config admin (even better in R6). This makes the configuration of your service instances orthogonal to their specification. While Aries blueprint does have config admin integration, it’s sort of bolted on and no one has figured out a plausible way to get it into the blueprint spec (possibly due to lack of interest). While when it started I thought blueprint was ideal, as I’ve learned more about OSGI I’ve come to regard blueprint as a transition crutch for those addicted to Spring. However, I have only used OSGI to develop app servers, I’ve never tried to write an enterprise app using OSGI, so there may be different considerations for your use. thanks david jencks > On Jul 20, 2015, at 9:17 AM, Alex Sviridov <ooo_satu...@mail.ru> wrote: > > Hello, Christian.
