We use JDO quite a bit and had a customer requesting us to use JPOX since you
now deploys on OSGi. However;
1. In our (CodeDragons, now Jayway) opinion the support is "mediocre" at
best, and greater care need to be placed onto the bundlization of JPOX.
2. The reliance on the Eclipse Extension Point mechanism is in our opinion
unfortunate as well as unnecessary.
3. The Classloading strategy seems to cause problems. (can't recall the
details, but think we can dig it up)
The end result of a couple of days of trying to rectifying the problems was
going back to our preferred commercial implementation.
For JPOX to be truly successful in OSGi, I think we need to discuss the
use-cases, get rid of the unnecessary extension point support, preferably
introduce the white board pattern and clean up the meta data. I think we can
throw some additional cycles on it, but only if you guys are serious about
it.
