Hi,

I'm looking for an OSGi compliant way of providing plugable services.

In my usecase, I'd like to allow custom o.a.p.sl.draw.ImageRenderer.
I thought j.u.ServiceLoader is the way to go, but as usual that's problematic 
with OSGi [1]

And of course OSGi is not the only player for IOC / modules and I don't want to 
link to OSGi
services loaders.

- How would you implement this?

- Use Apache Aries? [2]

Based on [1], one could use ServiceLoader.load(class, classloader). Similar to 
our xmlbeans
loading, I would simply use the classloader of the interface class and hope 
that the
OSGi provides the multiple /META-INF/services/ImageRenderer resources.
I haven't used it like that yet and also need to create an OSGi testbed.

Andi.
