When I register a service via OSGi, I noticed that I can forgo adding the service.pid property.
In the spec it says:
<pre>
The purpose of a Persistent Identifier (PID) is to identify a service across Framework restarts.
</pre>
Under what use cases would you register services without a service.pid ?
Thanks

You don't need it if you're always going to acquire/provide the service based on interface type. However, when you've got a situation where you may have many runs and need persistent data to be stored (say, in a DB) then you might want to use a consistent ID between restarts to maintain the same link to the data.
