Spring and OSGi's features are a natural fit; they are orthogonal to
each other. The Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi) is about
packaging, deployment, and versioning issues, while Spring is about
providing the necessary foundation to wire up Java classes in their most
basic form using dependency injection and aspect orientation to fulfill
an application's purpose.
Pro Spring Dynamic Modules for OSGi(TM) Service Platforms by Daniel
Rubio is the first book to cover OSGi as practically implemented by
the world's most popular, agile, and open-source enterprise Java
framework, Spring.
- Covers the ease at which OSGi is used with the Spring Framework in
development, packaging, versioning, and deployment.
- Enterprises are trusting Spring more and more, and this book leverages
OSGi in a way that can "complete" the use of Spring in the enterprise,
as OSGi is already being trusted and adopted by IBM, BEA, and others.
- The text discusses how Spring OSGi makes your Spring applications
trusted SOA applications.
