Pax Coin - Provider - Service Registry

Pax Coin Service Registry Configuration Provider uses the OSGi Service Registry as a source of configurations via a whiteboard pattern. This means your bundle can become a source of configuration at a cost of just adding the necessary properties to a registered service.
To see how you can use this provider take a look at the example use case.

Service properties

In order for a service to be considered as a configuration if must have a configurable property named config.service.pid with a value equal with targeted ManagedService pid. If you are targeting a ManagedServiceFactory, the published service should also have a property named config.service.factory.pid with a value equal with the targeted ManagedServiceFactory factory pid.
There are additional optional properties that are used to determine the selection of active configuration by [selectors]:

• config.timestamp — Integer; see [selectors] for details
• config.version — Integer; see [selectors] for details

Service type

Depending on the object type of your service, this provider makes the following assumptions (in this order):

• java.util.Map implementations — will be loaded by [Map Adapter]
• java.io.InputStream — will be loaded by [Apache Commons Configuration Adapter]
• any other Object — will be loaded by [Java Bean Adapter]
