Providing Services

Providing a service using the Service API:

Java Interface

• Implement the ServiceProvider interface
• Register an instance of the ServiceProvider implementation in the OSGi service registry
• Process messages received via the invoke() method and optionally return a response

The following properties are required for instances of a service provider:

• Service name : defaults to class name, can be specified using:
  • implementation of getServiceName()
• Endpoint name : defaults to hashCode of object instance, can be specified using:
  • implementation of getEndpointName()
• Operation names : defaults to method name, can be specified using:
  • implementation of getOperationNames()

All invocations are synchronous, whether the provider implements ServiceProvider or uses annotations.
