Description

The scr project currently misses methods for the ComponentContext implementation, namely the getUsingBundle() and service location methods. I assume, these methods are fairly easy to implement:

(1) getUsingBundle: set a private field of the ComponentContextImpl to the requiring bundle if created from a service factory. Otherwise this field remains null.

(2) service location: find the DependencyManager whose metadata has the requested name and select a service.

Attached is a patch, which implements this functionality.
