[jira] [Commented] (ARIES-938) Proposal: SPI Catch (plug-in
discovery for both plain Java >=5 and OSGi)
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-938?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13473134#comment-13473134 ]
David Bosschaert commented on ARIES-938:
----------------------------------------
I reviewed the code during the email exchange about this topic, see here: http://markmail.org/message/lpia2uacxe72vku2
and support this submission as I find this an interesting way to 'ease your way into OSGi', by using services that work both inside OSGi and out.
The approach is different from PojoSR (http://code.google.com/p/pojosr)/OSGi Connect (http://www.osgi.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=145) in that rather than introducing the OSGi Service Registry APIs early, it actually does not introduce the OSGi APIs at all which some people may find a more attractive way to work.

> 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.
