I agree those are real issues with Spring-DM. But that's not really the place for such discussions. FWIW, you should give Aries Blueprint a try, as all those problems have been solved in it. > The issues that really need to be addressed in both Apache Felix and the OSGi > specification are: > - The ability to require bundles by specifying packages that they export > instead of by specifying the symbolic names of the bundles. > - The ability to make META-INF and its subdirectories visible to class > loaders of bundles that meet at least one of the following criteria: > - Requires a bundle > - Imports all of the packages exported by the bundle (by requiring > bundle(s), importing package(s), and/or dynamically importing package(s)) > plus has a DynamicImport-Package header that includes META-INF and its > subdirectories > > Addressing the issues above will make it easier to use OSGi bundles from Web > Application Bundles without having to rely on workarounds. What are you underlying problem ? Maybe they already have some solutions. For the first one, this is an OSGi good practice and is done widely, so not sure what your issue is. The second one might be related to various issues which i'm quite sure have been fixed in various ways (having solved some myself). > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > -- Cheers, Guillaume Nodet ------------------------ Blog: http://gnodet.blogspot.com/ ------------------------ Open Source SOA http://fusesource.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
