------------------------------------------
Hi Edgar,
This is something we've considered at some point, but it seems like a big
investment for us for little return (needs specific build, more complex
descriptors, etc). Updating modules without restarting modules can probably be
done with a custom classloader (although that's never without surprises
either). Of course, if you have interesting links, how-to's or even patches,
we'd be glad to have a look at it - it's not something we're ready to do in the
short term, but we're willing to investigate further if there's interest.. and
help ;)
> 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..
