Description Frederic Conrotte CLA 2008-11-28 05:05:28 EST 
in the Equinox console, tt would be useful to be able to query bundles publishing a particular service using the service interface

for example: services javax.transaction

would list bundle having currently registered service(s) using this interface.

If you could point me to relevant CVS bundle(s) and classes, I could propose a patch for this feature request.

The console code is in the Equinox bundle
dev.eclipse.org/cvsroot/rt/org.eclipse.equinox/framework/bundles/org.eclipse.osgi

Look for the class called FrameworkCommandProvider

Note that you might also want to look at the app console commands. Tehy do a flavor of what you are suggesting. Perhaps there is some code that can be reused or the app console could be improved.

the app stuff is in 
dev.eclipse.org/cvsroot/rt/org.eclipse.equinox/compendium/bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.app
Look for AppCommands

Thanks for looking at this.

You can sort-of already do this, albeit with some extra typing, because the parameter to the services command is an LDAP filter:

  services (objectClass=org.eclipse.osgi.service.runnable.ApplicationLauncher
  services (objectClass=*ApplicationLauncher)
  services (objectClass=org.eclipse*)
  services (objectClass=javax.transaction*)

Good point Neil. I didn't know it.

I think this functionnality is sufficiently close to the request to mark it as fixed.

Marking as worksforme instead of fixed.
