Brooklyn Karaf OSGi Modules

[Andrew Kennedy <an...@cloudsoftcorp.com>]

Hi.

I noticed that the Brooklyn Karaf integration (BROOKLYN-183) is now
complete - thanks!

So, I would now like to build a Karaf module for Clocker that can be easily
integrated into the Brooklyn Karaf runtime. What I would like advice on is:

1. How best to create this integration? Clocker is basically a set of
entities and location code, that gets made available to the main Brooklyn
runtime. What do I need to implement ar create to make these cleanly
available as OSGi bindles? I think I want to make Clocker a new 'feature'
for Karaf, similar to winrm is that right? Are there any good examples on
the Karaf site that I can just follow?

2. Where can I find more documentation on running Brooklyn inside Karaf? I
couldn't see anything in the brooklyn-server/karaf module that explained
things?

Thanks,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

There are decent OSGi samples with the karaf and cxf distros (and other 
projects like camel, smx). They are just samples, so a bit of experience 
in how to put things together doesn't hurt. That said, it's not 
complicated at all, it just requires a bit of discipline in organizing 
packaging. Writing the blueprint is easy.

I will look for some nicer samples online. The first that comes to mind 
is Christian Scheneider's (whom you might have met at ApacheCon in 
Budapest) tutorials [1].

I will also look at the clocker tomorrow, hopefully Cipi will too and 
see what the shortest path would be. I expect it to be not too hard.

Cheers,
Hadrian
