Does this fit your need?
Not sure. First thought is; No, since the management needs to sit in the System Classloader (or equivalent high level) and it needs to look at the caller, which is the one that can be isolated by classloaders. At the end of the day, the contract to be fulfilled lies in the URLStreamHandler and its factory. You are expected to subclass the URLStreamHandler and override a bunch of methods, like openConnection(), parseURL() and toExternalForm(). The real problem has nothing much to do with OSGi. It just try to provide a mechanism to overcome the JVM/JDK limitations in a colaboration friendly manner. Cheers Niclas
