Dependency Injection in OSGI environments

Question

First some background:

I\'m working on some webapp prototype code based on Apache Sling which is OSGI based and runs on Apache Felix. I\'m still relatively new to OSGI

Answer 1

I can recommend Bnd and if you use Eclipse IDE sepcially Bndtools as well. With that you can avoid describing DS in XML and use annotations instead. There is a special Reference annotation for DI. This one has also a filter where you can reference only a special subset of services.
