That would be ideal of course. Does anyone know if openejb could be used
for this?
I found this page which shows how to use openejb in OSGi:
https://cwiki.apache.org/OPENEJB/osgi-openejb.html
and I found an interesting thread:
http://openejb.979440.n4.nabble.com/OpenEJB-and-OSGi-td981781.html#a981782
So this sounds like it would work but not that nicely. You have to
require the openejb bundle and you have to use an Activator.
Ideally I would like this to work like blueprint. Where you have an
extender that finds the trigger (META-INF/beans.xml) and initializes the
bundle accordingly.
Additionally it seems that openejb seems to have some dependencies on
eclipse RCP bundles which is not good for a server deployment.
I also do not see how it works together with OSGi. Like offerings
Stateless Session Beans as OSGi services or injecting OSGi services.
So I see two ways how aries could make this better:
1) Provide an extender that initializes openejb when it finds the
trigger file. This would make EJB deployments as bundles easier
2) Add CDI support to blueprint so the annotations can be used together
with a blueprint context
I think both ways could be interesting but they are as far as I
understand quite separate. Of course it would be great to bring OSGi and
blueprint on the one side and Java EE on the other side nearer together.
I am not sure though if and how this is possible.

Hi,
it could be a good addition in Aries. I just wonder if it's not
already covered by OpenEJB.
