Please include ECF's OSGi remote services in the Iot Java plans.
Scott,
It would really help if there was an IoT-related example of ECF's OSGi
remote services.
Remote services tutorials here [1]. Although not limited to the Iot use
case, the tutorial 'time service' is indeed well-suited to small
device/IoT usage.
And...there's also code for the use of the MQTT/Paho provider
[2]...which allows the use of any remote service (including the time
service tutorial)...with MQTT as transport...for the
remoting/distribution of any service.
Is there an example of how to get it working on a Raspberry Pi or
similar? Is there a document that describes the IoT use case?
No, not yet. Sounds like a great contribution for someone trying to
promote IoT at EF.
Prior to Luna, I have plans to write another tutorial which shows the
use of the existing example/tutorial time service with the MQTT provider
provider. It would be nice...and very doable...to run things on
Raspberry pi (host and/or consumer) for this tutorial, but I'm not sure
if Concierge (or any OSGi framework) is yet fully running on Raspberry
pi. If it is then wonderfull...it would/will be trivial to run a remote
services on it as well...as ECF RS now runs on any R4.3+ compliant OSGi
framework [2].
I am sure that it is obvious to you, but it is certainly not obvious
to me how or why this ECF functionality should be part of our IoT story.
I suppose it is obvious to me, because OSGi Remote Services is about
1) Connectivity (aka messaging) between devices/things using the Internet
2) Services provided from one device/process to another
3) Use of standards/interoperability at multiple levels
(protocols/connectivity...MQTT, COAP, etc, systems/frameworks [OSGi],
services [Remote Services])
These are all things enabled by OSGi Remote Services...and ECF's
implementation. Today.
It does seem strange to me that 1-3 would/could be seen as irrelevant to
'advanced connectivity of devices, systems, and services' [3].
