Server with OSGi/equinox [message #86382]

Hi,

I'm in the middle of the process of creating an architecture for an
middleware server.
The requirements of the server makes it almost impossible to use some
standard server concept, at least what we know for now.

On the client side we have created Eclipse plug-ins and RCP application for
some time now, so I thought that I should have a look
on OSGi/Equinox. What I have read it provides us with a plug-and-play
architecture concept that makes it possible to both extend the server and to
replace building blocks.

So what we are facing is a small server kernel with bunch of service
bundles, including a scheduling mechanism. But also to handle request from
clients, using both Web Services and plain HTTP with HTML rendering.

I have read some arctivels about "server-side OSGi" but it tend to be
described as a "future" thing, even if http seams to already be there in
Equinox.

So does anyone have some ideas/suggestions/comments about my ideas? I'm also
intressted in potenital problems (performance etc).
Any sample code / project that has implemented a similar server that we are
about to?

BR

Hi Peter,

I can't think of a better foundation for a middleware platform. A number of
the appserver vendors are basing/have based their product on OSGi so you're
in good company. In particular I think OSGi is particularly good fit for
building up a small platform with just the needed pieces as you describe.

There was a good talk at Eclipsecon that seems like it might be relevant ...
