I'd also be interested in if there is a more osgi-ish way to do this. My unfamiliarity with OSGI is limiting me here, but I'm curious if something like a "bundle activator" (mentioned in the parallel thread by atomicknight) would be a more appropriate way to go. If it is, I don't see any reason that we can't add this sort of integration to Shiro.
