IMO, I think that the days of DeclarativeServices may be numbered
since Spring sounds pretty serious about supporting OSGi, and there's
also the iPOJO project which is similar to DS.
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?
Yes, you have it backwards. DS was inspired by the Service Binder. iPOJO
is an evolution that uses byte code manipulation and inspection to
greatly simplify the programming model allowing true POJO components
with deferred service object creation, along with other interesting
features like dynamic service properties. Also, it is more extensible,
allowing it to deal with other issues too, like remoting and other
non-functional things.
