----------------------------------------------

Frank,

for myfaces - there was some work (in order to run w/ geronimo) done, I think...
(talking about MyFaces2)

regarding trinidad I see no reason why to do it for older stuff. If we do, than 
2.x IMO

> Make Trinidad OSGi ready

> Hi,
> it would be great to create an OSGi ready version of Trinidad (and MyFaces). 
> I'm using Trinidad together with MyFaces in the Eclipse Virgo runtime (former 
> Spring DM Server), but the problems are valid for every OSGi environment.
> In the first place the API and the IMPL jars need an updated/improved 
> OSGi-ready MANIFEST file exposing the typical OSGi metadata. The content 
> could be created with tools like BND from Peter Kriens which could run as 
> part of the build process (see other projects like Apache Felix, etc.)
> But normally this is not enough the make a library OSGi-ready. The nature of 
> OSGi allows to run several  TRINIDAD's in parallel in the same runtime even 
> in different versions.
> This leads often to conflicts with singleton objects or class loading issues.
> There are different usage scenarios where Trinidad should fit:
> 1. Scenario: Usage of TRINIDAD in two different web apps inside an OSGi 
> runtime.
> So you have ideally
>  1 API bundle 
>  1. WAR with the IMPL jar in the lib folder
>  2. WAR with the IMPL jar in the lib folder
> or
>  1. WAR with the API jar and the IMPL jar in the lib folder
>  2. WAR with the API jar and the IMPL jar in the lib folder
> 2.Scenario: Usage of TRINIDAD in different web apps in two different versions 
> inside an OSGi runtime.
> So you have ideally
>  1 API bundle 1.2.14
>  1 API bundle 2.0.0.3
>  1. WAR with the IMPL 1.2.14 jar in the lib folder
>  2. WAR with the IMPL 2.0.0.3 jar in the lib folder
>  3. WAR with the IMPL 2.0.0.3 jar in the lib folder
> or
>  1. WAR with the API jar and IMPL 1.2.14 jar in the lib folder
>  2. WAR with the API jar and IMPL 2.0.0.3 jar in the lib folder
>  3. WAR with the API jar and IMPL 2.0.0.3 jar in the lib folder
> Even more better would be to have just one API and IMPL bundle in the whole 
> runtime and just reference the bundles from the web app, but I guess this 
> would probably require some refactoring of TRINIDAD.
> The pattern also applies to the MYFACES libs.
> Regards,
> Frank
