Great, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Nice. I've just started thinking about this "how to feed the
configuration data from /outside/ my bundles" problem, and it looks
like you've already solved it.

My head hurts. I had glanced at iPOJO before even noticing that DS was
part of the OSGi Compendium, and I concluded that iPOJO must have been
a kind of prototype that would be subsumed by DS. Do I have this
backwards?

And now Spring: I've seen the phrase "Spring/OSGi" mentioned, but not
until I've come to be familiar with DS does applying Spring to OSGi
make more sense to me. The Spring OSGi specification hits a lot of the
same points as DS. Less obvious is how much of Spring one must bite
off to take advantage of its OSGi services.

With DS, one can use it or not on a bundle-by-bundle basis, and even
use it in part for some components in a bundle. Do you know if Spring
OSGi will allow this kind of selective, piecemeal integration?

Finally, given these choices of similar DS-like technologies, which
one are /you/ betting on?
