Hi Azeez, This is the standard way of updating an OSGi bundle using the command line console. It is possible to do updates using OSGi APIs.
I guess we need to re-think about our patching strategy. I mean where to place patches etc. Because to update an OSGi bundle, AFAIK you simply have to replace the existing bundle with the new bundle in the filesystem and invoke the update call. This is also related to dynamic bundle loading. So I think we need to design our hot deployment bundle and the patching strategy properly first. Thanks, Sameera.
