This is possible, although I don't think you can do it with Tomcat. The
steps required are:

1) Have the system bundle export the packages containing any service
interfaces you are going to export via JNDI.
2) Have some bridge code running inside Felix:
  a) obtains an appropriate InitialContext object
  b) finds services from the service registry and binds them in the
InitialContext

Your bridge code will likely need to be a service listener so that it
correctly unbinds services when they go away. I used DS for this; I imagine
there's a way to do it with Spring DM as well.

The problem with Tomcat is that its JNDI context is read-only. The steps
above obviously require a global writeable context.

Justin
