I don't know.. it's easy to blame the framework but then, does the framework 
make things easy to get right? Is the framework fragile, does it fail easily or 
not lend it's self to guiding people on how to use it? These are very subtle 
questions. You know, the Spring crowd has some of the most brilliant minds in 
the industry. Rod was committed to OSGi very early on. I'd say if those guys 
can't get it right what hope do the rest of us have (wait a minute, didn't Dick 
use this argument in another thread in which I called him out???).

No voice. The wrong code checks for null but then does nothing with it. So the 
code is wrong 'cos it should throw the null pointer exception, same with type 
safety, handle it or throw it. that is the throw don't catch mantra.. no? ok, 
we can nit pick at the code but without voice I'm hard pressed to guess at the 
OSGi message here.
