Status of Felix

[Piero Campanelli <pi...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am evaluating the status of OSGi opensource containers to publish them on
my blog. Regarding Felix, skimming through source code can we say the
following?

Core Framework:
Security Layer: no
Module Layer: OK
Lifecycle Layer: OK
Service Layer: OK

Core Services:
Package Admin: Partial
Conditional Permission: Partial
Permission Admin: Partial
URL Handler: OK
Start Level: OK

tnx

Felix should run on Foundation without any difficulty...I won't make any 
claims about anything else. We don't try to use any advanced JRE/JVM 
features, so it definitely doesn't require J2SE. Any issues are likely 
oversights or bugs that would be fixed if brought to our attention.

Hello Piero,

the framework targets OSGi foundation EE. As of security, digitally
signed bundles are done as well as the security checks - neither is
thoroughly tested. Both Permission and Conditional Permission Admin
are missing as of today; however, I'm working on it.

regards,

Karl

tnx Richard.

About execution environment? Acttually Felix is figured out to run on
Minimum OSGi or J2SE-* ?

This has been implemented, but not yet fully tested so it is unclear if 
it is compliant.

> Module Layer: OK

Essentially, this is true. More specifically, it is missing 
require-bundle and bundle fragments, which are optional spec features. 
In my sandbox I have been prototyping require-bundle, which is working 
in a preliminary fashion and now needs to be re-done for the trunk.

Complete except for those aspects related to fragments and require-bundle.

I don't think we have anything here, but I believe Karl Pauls is looking 
at it.

> Permission Admin: Partial

Same as above.

I think he was just querying the Felix list to get us to verify his 
conclusions...I expect he will do the same for KF...

Hi,

Don't forget Knopflerfish :)

Core Framework:
- Security (except for signed bundles), Module (including the optional 
require-, fragment- and extension bundles features), Lifecycle and 
Service Layer are all implemented.

Core services:
Package Admin, Permission Admin, URL Handler and Start Level are all 
implemented. Conditional Permission is not yet included.

Make sure to post a link to it when you've completed your survey.

Mats-Ola
