[equinox-dev] Declarative Services vs Spring

[Subbarao Meduri <mkv@xxxxxxxxxx>]

How does declarative services fare when compared with Spring framework in terms of its injection capabilities ? My apologies if this is already discussed on this forum.

Is there a reason why declarative services does not support constructor injection, for example ? It seems constructor injection is the only way to initialize a component that holds a immutable (final) service reference injected via its constructor.

Appreciate your thoughts.
