                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5998
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: New Feature
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: osgi
    Affects Versions: 3.0
            Reporter: Ivan
            Assignee: Ivan
             Fix For: 3.0


 In Geronimo, we always ship two saaj implementation, and in the past, we 
create wrapper implementations for those SPI, and configure them as system 
property. In the traditional service search strategy path, the configurations 
from system property have the highest priority. So we could control which 
implementation will be used After we switches to OSGi, a locator-registry 
solution is used for searching all the available service providers. For SAAJ 
provider, now we have two providers. and it seems that which one will be used 
is depending on which one is first registered in the global registry. 
    I am thinking two solutions for this, and I prefer the option b.
    a. Introduce the priority feature for the service providers, the 
implementation could state its priority in the MANIFEST.MF file.
    b. Still take advantage of the system property, while the spec API requires 
the implementation, if the system property is configured and the implementation 
exists in the registry, use that one.
