Members variables in OSGi Services [message #123475]

Hi forum,

I have started to think about using Equinox as the server-side Run-Time
environment
for my project. But I soon started to realize that when I move the bundles
server-side
there will be threading issues (e.g. multiple users) with variable access. I
search but could not find
any general ideas on how to think about such simple things like members
variables.

But I guess that in this area OSGi is much like J2EE Servlets; All users
will be using
the same instance of the object instance, so member variables is a shared
entity between
all concurrent users. Is my assumption correct?

Leo,

Yes indeed. OSGi is an implicitly multi-threaded environment, and not
just on the server side.

In my book I have devoted a whole chapter to concurrency issues with
OSGi. It is freely downloadable as a PDF (link to follow) so please take
a look and come back if you have further questions.

Regards,
Neil
