Basically all JBoss deployments and services should appear to the OSGi api user as OSGi bundles/services. (Eventually, that includes for example being able to get a service reference on an EJB remote/local interface.) To me this is the key feature since OSGi provides a standard api for controlling deployments and services instead of using a non-spec jboss api. And vice-versa you should be able to inject OSGi services into pojos/mbeans, etc. This should be as seamless as possible. OSGi bundle <-> Deployment ServiceReference <-> MC ControllerContext Somebody deploying a POJO shouldn't have to implement an OSGi api to make it work, that defeats the point of them being POJOs, View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4222043#...
