So, this is really more of a general OSGi question so I apologize up-front for not asking a Felix specific question.
I am trying to ensure my bundles play nice in OSGi and follow the whiteboard pattern as much as possible so I was using the ServiceTracker and ServiceListeners but I found I was writing a lot of code so I put it into a couple of classes to make things easier for myself. I realize that maybe there are already some standard/popular utilities out there for doing this stuff but I had fun making these so I thought I would: A) Put them up here to see what people think Mutliple services tracker: https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/caret/osgi-eb/trunk/eb-webapp/src/main/java/org/sakaiproject/eb/rest/osgi/util/ServicesTracker.java Single services tracker: https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/caret/osgi-eb/trunk/eb-webapp/src/main/java/org/sakaiproject/eb/rest/osgi/util/ServiceListenerTracker.java An activator which is using these: https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/caret/osgi-eb/trunk/eb-webapp/src/main/java/org/sakaiproject/eb/rest/osgi/EBRestActivator.java B) Ask if there are some standard (or just popular) utils somewhere already which do this already (are there?) I basically want to simply avoid starting my services until the ones I require are availabe, shut mine down when the ones I require go away, react to changes in the required services (S1 is replaced by S2), and track services which are optional but used by me (like extensions for example). I also want it to be easy to get services and take advantage of generics where possible to avoid constant casting. I appreciate any comments or pointers (and promise to try to stop posting so much to this list).
