Peter, et al,
Would the OSGi services specs provide a good foundation for defining a
platform? The specs include Remote Services Administration (RSA). OSGi
technology solves or mitigates classpath issues. Admittedly, I don't know
how or if the RSA spec addresses codebase issues.
The proliferation of OSGi technology is pretty substantial. Intuitively,
OSGi technology and River seem complementary. I mentioned OSGi technology
and River a year or so go, so I apologize if I'm beating a dead horse.
When merge Gregg's CodebaseAccessClassLoader back into the main trunk...
Chris found this enabled him to utilise OSGi.
Cheers,
Peter.
