Pierre Bourret updated FELIX-4116:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: FELIX-4116_Ability_to_listen_for_component_service_dependencies_providings_configuration_properties.patch

Here is a patch for the iPOJO component listeners:
- on configuration (tested)
- on provided services (tested)
- on service dependencies (NOT tested)

Unfortunately I miss some time to test the listeners on service dependencies, which really are the more complicated things to listen to...

> iPOJO offers the ability to be notified when a service arrives/is modified/leaves a dependency. However this notifications happens _inside_ the component, via dependency callbacks (@Bind, @Unbind, @Modified).
> What would be cool is to listen to this events _externally_, with listeners on the DependencyModel.
> Is is possible right now to do this with a hack of the DependencyCallbacks (lots of reflection, ugly code).
> So what just lacks is the API to register/unregister listeners + the listener interface.
> Same thing for service providings : we should be able to be notified when a component start/stop to provide a service. It is possible to listen to all services with the good "instance.name", but this is not really elegant, and there might be issues with isolated ServiceContext (composite). Registering a listener on the ProvidedService seems a better approach IMO.
> Same point for configuration, like the @Updated callback, but external.
> For sure there are lots of other component things to listen to... ;)
