Title:

OSGi Best Practices - live coding session

Stream:

WebSphere Application Server 1 (3)

Speakers:

Emily Jiang

Abstract:

Since the first release of the OSGi Enterprise specification in March 2010 the use of OSGi in the enterprise has increased dramatically. WebSphere Application Server v8.5 supports OSGi applications. In order to utilise OSGi technologies, you need to covert traditional JEE applications to OSGi applications. Moving traditional Java EE applications to an OSGi stack is intentionally as easy as possible, however there are a number of common mistakes that can make it feel very hard. This session will describe some best practices for developing Enterprise OSGi applications and OSGi bundles, allowing developers to utilise the power of OSGi in a painless way. This is a live coding session to demonstrate how to use OSGi best practices to make your application modular.

Whilst this session is primarily aimed at enterprise developers new to OSGi, much of the content is equally applicable to OSGi development in general, and is definitely recommended to anyone looking to brush up on their OSGi principles!
