Re: [equinox-dev] server side eclipse examples?

You can blame me. It is my design.

I am not an XML expert and find it overly verbose. But, as you point out, 
it could have been better designed...

Re: [equinox-dev] server side eclipse examples?






I'll have to look into that, Jeff.  I'm currently developing an 
implementation of the R4 declarative services spec. with Spring and/or 
other IoC frameworks in mind, but on company time.  I don't think there 
are any company guidelines in place yet for contributing to the OSS 
community (although there should be -- we use enough OSS code in 
production). 

On a side note, I'm confused about the Component Description XML schema in 
the DS spec. and was hoping someone might have some insight.  Why is an 
array property newline-delimited?  E.g., 

<property name="myArray"> 
  String1
  String2
  String3
</property>

This leaves a bunch of string splitting and trimming that would be ideally 
done by the XML parser with a format such as:

<property name="myArray"> 
  <item>String1</item>
  <item>String2</item>
  <item>String3</item>
</property> 

Just a thought.

Jeremy, 

When your Spring integration is ready, can you point us at it?  Or even 
contribute it here? 

Also, do you think that there are any things that could be changed in the 
framework implementation or OSGi spec to make the integration easier? 
There was some discussion of liberal buddy classloading use.  While that 
certainly is not something that I would encourage it is an example of an 
enabling technology that at least allows people to investigate a space.

Re: [equinox-dev] server side eclipse examples?








I've been working on Spring integration on and off for a bit.  While I
don't know that Spring can be used to manage an entire OSGi system,
with multiple bundles, at once, I was able to use it to wire up
bundles internally (a.k.a, one BeanFactory per bundle).  I've also
integrated it with ServiceBinder, which is sort of the predecessor to
R4's Declarative Services.  This allowed me to easily define OSGi
services as Spring beans.  I posted about it on the Apache felix-dev
list a while back, and linked to some code that I had at the time
(I've got more updated code now, but it's not packaged for
distribution).

<dccc2ca905092914039c4c1e0%40mail.gmail.com>

Also, check out Service Binder at
http://gravity.sourceforge.net/servicebinder/, as well as Declarative
Services in the OSGi R4 spec, as these are relevant.

After working with integration for a while, I've started to find that
Spring and OSGi are just different enough to make little issues keep
popping up.  One fundamental difference is that Spring seems to assume
that all of its resources are available at any time, where as in an
OSGi world this is most definitely not the case.
