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. _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
