Hi, I think you mean an EBA file, and yes it is similar to the .ear concept. I think work is going on in the alliance on standardising something similar, which is being prototyped in the subsystem project. The Application.mf is feeding into that, but as with any standardisation effort things change.
Aries 0.2 is not able to isolate OSGi services, however work is going on in the trunk on this via the JIRAs ARIES-359 and ARIES-361. This is based on using the equinox composite bundle prototype. At some point I hope something will be standardized which will allow this to work across framework implementations. I hope this helps Alasdair On 1 September 2010 17:56, Charles Moulliard <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > The eab file of an Aries application seems similar to what we have in J2EE > world with EAR file. > > The Aries web page mentions that : > > "An Aries application isolates the OSGi services offered by its contained > modules so that they are not visible outside the application unless > explicitly configured to be exported from the application" > > My questions are : > - How Aries is able to isolate OSGI services offered by its contained > modules ? > - How Aries is able to create this "container" ?
