We are using the maven-bundle-plugin to build our own osgi bundles and we use
the
maven-dependency-plugin to automatically build a osgi runtime containing all
our bundles.
This way we can use maven to manage all our bundles and we can use a kind of
"OneClick"
distribution generation. This autoamtic generation process creates all
configured jar files (bundles),
the proper configuration file (configuration/config.ini) and a batch file to
start the osgi basesd
server application.
Now we would like to use axis2 in our osgi based server and the best way to
get an Axis2-OSGi-Service running would be a bunch of osgi like bundles, so
we can
just add a few entries to our configuration file to manage the automatic
build process.
If we need another osgi based bundle (maven bundle packaging) we just put an
entry
like this to our build.xml file.
<artifactItem>
<groupId>org.eclipse.osgi</groupId>
<artifactId>osgi-core</artifactId>
<version>3.3.1.R33</version>
<overWrite>true</overWrite>
<outputDirectory>${dist}</outputDirectory>
<destFileName>org.eclipse.osgi.core.jar</destFileName
</artifactItem>
The way we build OSGi bundles gives us the ability to use our bundles within
Apache Felix,
Eclipse Equinox, Knopflerfish and so on. Just like the meaning of OSGi to
create reusable
service components. "Service" in the sense of an "OSGi Service" (one service
specification
as java interfaces and multiple, posibble service implementations).
Is nobody else using this kind of build process to build OSGi based
applications and OSGi based services?
I am talking about applications without any GUI, just "OSGi Server
Application". And are there no ready
to use maven artifacts to build an osgi bases Axis2 server?
