Existing implementations of OSGi Configuration Admin Service?

Question

We are considering to use Configuration Admin Service as a primary API for configuring components in our OSGi-based application. It would be nice if we could reuse some existing

Answer 1

The three public implementations I know of are

• Apache Felix
• Equinox …source (this has moved recently)
• Knopflerfish …front page and …source

Equinox's implementation of the ConfigurationAdmin service appears not to support fine control over the persistence policy, as Felix's does, and the Knopflerfish implementation looks (I've only read the source briefly) similar to Equinox's.

The Felix one appears to be the most recently updated and the most reliable.

At present these are the only ones I can find; at dm Server we made the decision to use Felix's bundle, and this is now obtainable from the SpringSource Enterprise Bundle Repository, where you can quick-search for Apache Felix or ConfigAdmin.
