As you realized, the ServiceTracker is a very powerful tool but it requires quite a lot of code, especially when you need to track a lot of services in the same time. Some pointers: - to do what you want to do, I use atm Spring DM http://www.springsource.org/osgi - if I could change (too late now for my current project), I'd probably use OSGi DS http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-service-component-runtime.html - it may be worth looking at iPOJO (I don't know it but Clement here is the expert & developer) http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-ipojo.html Hope this helps -- Filippo Diotalevi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@felix.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@felix.apache.org
