DS and references without an interface
Hi guys,
Is there any way to specify in Declarative Services a reference
without a type, just with a filter (target)?
My use case is that I want all services that have certain service
properties regardless the type of the service.
Thanx,

Ok.

FYI, the schema for RFC124 (the Spring inspired component model RFC)
currently allows service references with no declared interface(s) - however
I haven't actually tried this in practice with Spring-DM so YMMV...
anyway, sounds like a good idea to raise this issue with DS and RFC124

Thanx Felix.
Yes, I posted the same question on more mailing lists as I did not got
a reply from Felix list were I originally posted the question. I think
you were in vacation and all DS knowledge was with you :)
BJ answered same thing: not supported. But I'm thinking to add an
enhancement issue on DS with OSGi alliance as to me this seems as a
valid use case even if is a corner case.

Hi Alin,
Is this a cross-post from the OSGi-Dev list ?
Anyway, looking at the spec it seems, that interface attribute of the
reference element is required. So I would assume, that this is not
possible - with the current specification. And AFAIK the Felix SCR is
not able to do this either.

Felix
