Hi folks,

do we have something like the java.util.Service class introduced with JDK 1.6 withing Jakarta? This is basically a proper API to access the Service Provider mechanism described here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jar/jar.html#Service%20Provider

The closest analog is probably the "Commons Discovery" package, which utilizes a variety of strategies to do service discovery (including, IIRC, the META-INF service lookup trick).
