Developing a Registry Client

Description

Registry Clients create Federated Sources using the OSGi Configuration Admin. Developers should reference an individual Source's (Federated, Connected, or Catalog Provider) documentation for the Configuration properties (such as a Factory PID, addresses, intervals, etc) necessary to establish that Source in the framework. 

Example

org.osgi.service.cm.ConfigurationAdmin configurationAdmin = getConfigurationAdmin() ;
org.osgi.service.cm.Configuration currentConfiguration = configurationAdmin.createFactoryConfiguration(getFactoryPid(), null);
Dictionary properties = new Dictionary() ;
properties.put(QUERY_ADDRESS_PROPERTY,queryAddress);
currentConfiguration.update( properties );

Note that the QUERY_ADDRESS_PROPERTY is specific to this Configuration and might not be required for every Source. The properties necessary for creating a Configuration are different for every Source.
