OSGI configuration to configure endpoints

[sherybedrock]

Hi all,

i'm working on task to configure a endpoint OSGI service where the user can configure the URL. I have a basic idea how this should be done, but i'm wondering are there any best practice? If you have any example will be nice to see another aproach.

Regards

Are you talking about how to configure values that an OSGi service can read - if so - see: Scott's Digital Community: Reading AEM OSGi Configuration Values

I would really love to give you my viewpoints when working with OSGI configurations

In many projects I have taken over from other teams or vendors , one big issue I have always faced is the configs. When you are working with OSGI configs please make sure you handle them by creating config nodes. To ease my job of explaining everything I have dig out some blogs from internet . Please read the below

  The basic idea is to have a osgi service endpoint from which i retrive a json and then this json file fill load some data in my component dynamically, but sometimes the url for the external API will be changed. I have to add possibility to configure the url and maybe to be configurable with run modes somehow .
