Re: [hibernate-dev] Concept of "service availability"
If I haven't mentioned before, a osgi service could also carry
properties. This is used as example in the OSGI JPA Spec. where it is
written:
The service must be registered with the following service property:
javax.persistence.provider – The JPA Provider implementation class
name, a documented name
for all JPA Providers.
And it is possible to access these properties in the found
ServiceReference's. This could also be used to carry information needed
for hibernate to use a certain service, etc.
