dOSGi: Change the startup of the DSW to Spring

2010-02-25 Thread Marc Schaaf

Hi,

with regard to [1] I would like to change the startup of the dOSGi DSW 
from a normal OSGi activator to Spring. This way the DSW would be 
started by the Spring OSGi Extender bundles which would solve an issue 
with the intent map loading. Currently the intent map is only 
successfully loaded by the DSW if the Spring OSGi Extender was started 
before.


Are there any objections against this approach ?

Thanks,
Marc

Hi

My concern is that the way intents maps are loaded is the implementation detail of DSW and even though using Spring is what we use 
at the moment to load them I'm feeling we should not exclude other options (to make it easier for 'interested' OSGI non-Spring aware 
containers to integrate/inlcude DOSGI RI). Thus making DSW to start from Spring does not look like an ideal option to me...Also, as 
I noted in [1], we could find it more difficult to do things other than expressing service registration or dependencies requirements 
which is what you can do in Spring DM contexts


cheers, Sergey
