## Class OSGiLocator

- java.lang.Object
- - org.kie.internal.utils.OSGiLocator

-     public final class OSGiLocator
      extends Object

  Maintains a mapping of service names to an ordered set of service providers when running in an OSGi container.
  It is expected that a bundle using Drools will populate this map with properties from its own ClassLoader.
  This is an adaptation of the technique described by Guillaume Nodet in his article Java EE specs in OSGi. The main changes were to add comments. see http://gnodet.blogspot.com/2008/05/jee-specs-in-osgi.html
