Debugging OSGi services in war bundles

[dusovana]

I have few OSGi war bundles configured with various services and different cardinalities. Is it possible to debug these osgi services without deploying to Spring DM?

I am thinking in the lines of running the bundles in a osgi framework as I saw in various examples in STS dashboard.

I thought its faster this way than debugging in DM Server. Even though these bundles are wars, the services do not require web interfaces as they are just a means of retrieving information from other bundles.

"without deploying to Spring DM"
What do you mean by that? Spring DM is a framework not a platform. The best debugging happens at runtime but if that's not an option you could try to "mock" your case through an integration test or through some OSGi mocks.
