Abstract:
Modularity, versioning and dynamics make OSGi an ideal candidate for deploying and running Java applications, whether small or large. However, nothing comes for free and, like in any other environment, there are "do"s and "don't"s.
In this session, we'll start by looking at OSGi (plus HK2 and JAM while we're at it) and then focus on some of the challenges that one might encounter when developing an enterprise application (containing web and data tier) in OSGi and how they can be addressed, using the lessons learned in Spring Dynamic Modules project and SpringSource Application Platform.
Outline:
- OSGi overview
- Part 1: OSGi class and resource loading
- Persistence
- Part 2: Working with OSGi services
- Summary
- Q&A
Required experience:
- Basic OSGi, persistence and web knowledge
- Good Spring knowledge
- Good Java Class/Class Loading knowledge
Expected audience:
Anybody interested in using OSGi for enterprise applications
