I found this write-up which gives a status as of April 2012. Definitely worth reviewing OSGi and C++ frameworks overview.

The authors of the open source Portable Components library (POCO) have also developed a modular framework based on OSGI called OSP or Open Service Platform. http://www.appinf.com/en/products/osp.html. It's not open source however.

There is also BlueBerry http://www.blueberry-project.org which implements a component based framework inspired by OSGi. It also comes with an application framework similar to the Eclipse RCP.

A rewrite of the BlueBerry core can be found in the CTK PluginFramework library (based on Qt Core): Introduction, GitHub Code .

The OSGi4Cpp tries to implement the OSGi specification in C++.

osgi4cpp is a dead project - never had any activity on it. – Chris K Nov 02 '10 at 17:45

I've never seen a solution to the whole problem, but I implemented something similar using Qt plugins.

The part Qt did nicely (that C++ by itself doesn't implement) was handling C++ OO interfaces in dynamically loadable modules. Because of C++ name-mangling being non-standard, usually DLLs don't have C++ interfaces, only C interfaces. Qt did it with it's meta-object system, and it worked really cleanly for me.

the [CTK Plugin Framework](http://www.commontk.org/index.php/Documentation/Plugin_Framework) uses the QT plugin system, as is described in the blog post that @Langley linked to. – hoijui Sep 23 '12 at 08:21

Checkout cppmicroservices. It is actively developed and provides a reasonable starting point for creating an SOA based dynamic services in C++.
