Thanks. I've hacked on the implementation with that in mind and after
fighting with serialization, sockets, and NIO for the past couple of
days, I've gotten close to a half-working and ugly blob but am now hit
with a class loading problem (at least, I think it's a class loading
problem anyway).

There is a bundle A with container and datashare implementations along
with ID and namespace definition and implementations. Then there's an
external bundle B that interfaces with ECF APIs directly and sends
messages around with the IChannel. I can send messages using TestID
(although of course, bundle B only knows them as ID), but when I
receive a response and try to deserialize them in bundle B's code, I
get a CNFE out of it.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: TestID

It works if I add bundle A to bundle B's list of Require-Bundle but I
sure don't want to do that as that would remove the point of
interfacing with the ECF interfaces. Anyone got any tips?
