No, currently it is not supported. I think with the dynamic registration
support of servlets, we should be able to do something here. Let's get
some feedback from GlassFish web technology experts. I have copied Rajiv
here who is the Servlet 3.0 spec lead.

Therefore it seems impossible to deploy an application consisting of multiple Web Service endpoints (or EJB endpoints for that matter) as a collection of OSGI bundles. This seems like quite a drawback to me!
