OSGi for a module container?
----------------------------
Key: MAGNOLIA-2352
URL: http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-2352
Project: Magnolia
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: updatemechanism
Affects Versions: Ideas
Reporter: Edgar Vonk
Assignee: Boris Kraft
The module mechanism (bootstrapping, reloading of classes) is only done on
startup of Magnolia (ignoring the deployment tools).
Maybe it is an idea to use an OSGi container (like Felix) in which to run the
Magnolia modules. The advantage is that you could update modules on the fly
without having to restart your application server. Of course you would still
need to think about bootstrapping JCR data.
GX WebManager, a leading Dutch CMS, uses OSGi for their module mechanism
(called "WCB's", WebManager Component Bundles). This works very nicely.
They have a community edition out but it is not an open source product..
