Programming
I was at an OSGi event last week and got to meet a number of OSGi experts. I will share my experience here. I will also brief about the kind of support we have in GlassFish for enterprise OSGi users. Check out our talk on this subject at eclipsecon 2010.
Since GlassFish v3 is built on top of OSGi, it is already capable of being embedded in an existing OSGi runtime. The bootstrapping code was slightly complicated IMO. Recently when Apache Camel committer Charles Moulliard asked me some questions around embedding GlassFish v3 in an OSGi runtime, I decided to revisit the bootstrap module in order to simplify it so that I had less explaining to do. I recently did exactly that. In this blog, I show how using a simple BundleActivator, one can embed GlassFish in an OSGi runtime.
