== karaf-boot-sample-service-provider-blueprint ==

This sample exposes an OSGi service using blueprint.

= Design

The service “contract” is describe by the Hello interface. It's a very simple service that expose one operation (hello). The service client send a message (String) to the hello service and he gets a response.

The HelloServiceImpl is very simple: it prefixes the message with “Hello”.

We use a blueprint XML descriptor (for blueprint annotations, see the corresponding sample) in order to expose the service.

mvn clean install
