OSGI Technology

Hi ,

OSGI is technology which is popular now adays . a brief explanation is here

Problem : Suppose let us assume we have n number of war files in a application. Assume that we installed our application in application server . Rememeber we made single war or jar with multiple jars/wars and deployed as single component. suppose any change we want to do for one jar file in whole application. Then we have to stop the whole application and make the changes and deploy again . which is effectiing all the modules of application.


Solution: Here is OSGI technology comes for that ,it comes with bundles of components and if u want to change the particular jar u can change at runtime also with out stopping appliaction .This is a simple example use of OSGI.

Now OSGI is coming with almost all popular application servers.
