It really has nothing to do with SOA at all. OSGi is a module system for
Java. It promotes a loosely coupled collaboration mechanism between modules, which it calls services. These services are just Java interfaces. Module publish their services in a local service registry where other modules can look them up to use them. In this way, providers and consumers are not coupled to each other, since they don't have to know about each other directly. This is the service-oriented interaction
pattern of publish-find-bind, but that's it. There is nothing related to SOA.
