Following Felix's shameless Apache/Adobe plugs ;) I'll add: Liferay was/is a traditionally massive enterprise WAR (but really more) for which, in time we realized monoliths are really very #$%^&@... and so we learned and adopted OSGi inside our application and gradually (not so gradually actually) evolved our legacy non-modular code into our embedded OSGi framework. This was a massive change but totally the right thing to do.
We use Apache Felix/Apache Aries/Eclipse Equinox (and other OSS) projects as sources for many of our key "subsystems" and we're helping (trying anyway) to build out even more systems that don't currently exist in OSGi as members of the greater OSGi community and by participating in the OSGi Alliance. We've gained so many benefits from this relationship with the OSGi community that I highly recommend participating. Just a small list of the current work in progress (YOU CAN GET IN ON THE GROUND FLOUR!!!): Push Streams - Aries (an async event streaming API) tx-control - Aries (functional oriented transaction management) JAX-RS Whiteboard - Aries CDI Extender - Aries (coming soon) Converter - Felix (standardized light weight object conversion) Configurator - Felix (deployable configurations) and many more... ;) - Ray On Thu, Nov 24, 2016 at 9:45 AM, Felix Meschberger <fmesc...@adobe.com> wrote: > Hi Wai Keung > > This is a shameless Apache Software Foundation plug, sorry ;-) > > Having said that, the Apache Felix project (felix.apache.org) is > basically the OSGi „core“ home at Apache while Apache Aries ( > aries.apache.org) has a lot of Enterprise Spec implementations. > > Apache Sling (sling.apache.org), finally, is a web application framework > entirely built „in OSGi“.
