Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-498:
--------------------------------------------
This is certainly a valid request. Unfortunately, I am pretty new to OSGi, so
it is not directly clear for me where Commons Configuration fits into the
picture.
As I have read, there are multiple aspects related to the Configuration Admin
service:
* You can create a ManagedService or a ManagedServiceFactory, and then
Configuration Admin calls your service when a configuration is created or
changed passing in a Dictionary object. The creation of configurations is done
through methods of the Configuration Admin service.
* Bundles can specify meta data describing the configuration options they
support.
* There is a preferences services which can be used by bundles to persist their
settings.
Which of these services would you like to access through our Configuration
interface?

> As part of the OSGi spec, a service called "Configuration Admin" is available
> to provide access to properties-based configuration that is stored in the
> container. Providing access to that facility via commons-configuration seems
> like an ideal situation since it can further abstract the container that the
> client code is running on, now including OSGi containers such as Karaf or
> Felix.
