[jira] [Commented] (ARIES-938) Proposal: SPI Catch (plug-in discovery for both plain Java >=5 and OSGi)

["Jeremias Maerki (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-938?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13501797#comment-13501797 ] 

Jeremias Maerki commented on ARIES-938:
---------------------------------------

I hereby have to retract the proposal code due to a serious problem with respect to garbage collection which causes services not to be detected in a JVM with aggressive GC options. I will post an updated proposal as soon as I've solved this.

> As discussed in http://aries.markmail.org/thread/i2vgjryf5caitqmy I propose a new component for Apache Aries, code-named "SPI Catch", as a complement to SPI Fly.
> SPI Catch provides an abstraction to plug-in discovery that for libraries that make use of the JAR service provider mechanism (through META-INF/services) to discover plug-ins. It shields the client from OSGi specifics but all the same offering the dynamics provided through the OSGi service registry. It is an deal counter-part to Apache Aries SPI Fly which is used to publish SPI providers as OSGi services. And finally, another focus is on preserving the runnability totally outside of OSGi.
