Description

Consider an OSGi system running the Felix HTTP whiteboard service and multiple HttpServices.

Currently it is not possible to control which HttpService the Felix whiteboard binds to for registering servlets. We get random binding behaviour. It would be natural to provide a configuration setting for the whiteboard that allows to specify a standard OSGi filter to refer to the desired HttpService.
This filter could then be used when calling superclass constructors from org.apache.felix.http.whiteboard.internal.tracker.HttpServiceTracker.

It might also be appropriate to integrate the configuration setting with the standard ConfigurationAdmin service (this may deserve its own JIRA ticket though).
