Cannot register beans created by producer methods as OSGi services

[mwinkels]

When the @OsgiServiceProvider annotation is used on a producer method (which should be possible according to its JavaDoc) the following exception is thrown:

15:19:10.895 [Start Level Event Dispatcher] INFO  o.o.p.c.e.i.c.ComponentLifecycleManager - component Greeter, Name:null, WebBeans Type:PRODUCERMETHOD, API Types:[java.lang.Object,sample.osgiProviderProducerMethod.Greeter], Qualifiers:[javax.enterprise.inject.Any,org.ops4j.pax.cdi.api.OsgiServiceProvider] is available

The integration test in this pull requests show the problem. The last commit proposes a fix.

thanks for providing a fix including a test :-)
could you also open an issue for this at the ops4j jira and link it with this PR, this way it's documented in the next release notes.

thanks, Achim

Unfortunately I cannot create an account to create an issue on ops4j jira.

[ANierbeck]

ahh ... that's right. Let me create one for you. We unfortunately have been swamped by spam on our Jira.

@mwinkels did you have your JIRA account? This is a really nice addition!

@mwinkels I know it's pretty old. I think it has been addressed, but can you please double check and eventually update the PR based on master ?
