OSGi integration : what's next?

[jerome moliere <je...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,
I am going back to Cayenne , product I used 5 or 6 years ago...
I am an addict of OSGi and for a new project  I wish to use an ORM as
the data layer inside a minimalist OSGi platform (Felix)
I don't want to use the Blueprint specification (integrating JPA with
Spring syntax) so I 'd like to know what is the current state of the
Cayenne inside OSGi ?
I 've found messages from 2009 dealing with that subject but looking
inside the jar files I can't see any meta data related to OSGi...
Maybe that this question would suit better to the dev list ?

I am ready to contribute to this subject if you find some interest ...;
Thanks for any pointer, feedback ....

Regards

Hi Jerome,

I'd certainly want Cayenne to be packaged in OSGi-friendly manner. As you've mentioned, others have reported success using Cayenne with OSGi (Jeremias Maerki message here http://markmail.org/message/admkhniktnvnfid5 ) , but there were no contributions back to the project. We'd gladly accept such contribution if it shows up ;)

BTW, now with Cayenne 3.1 the entire configuration is based on dependency injection, with configuration organized into separate "module" Java classes, allowing service overrides, etc. So I suspect the scenario described by Jeremias should be easy to implement in 3.1. 

If you are interested, let's certainly continue this conversation on dev.

Cheers,
Andrus
