Dear all, In one article designated for Eclipse Corona project, Mr. Peter Kriens mentioned that "the dynamic nature of distributed systems is a perfect match for the service registry. The reflective capabilities of the services make it straightforward to map services from one platform to another platform. This mechanism does not work for all services because the calls of some services are not serializable, however, many specially designed services can work fine"
Can anyone explain shortly in details what the reflective capabilities of services are? Why is it possible to map services from one platform to another plaform if the object is serializable? May I understand that if two instances of one service can be mapped among two different remote service registries then by abusing class ServiceTracker to the service in one platform we can track if its corresponding service instance is already deactivated/uninstalled in the other OSGi platform?
