JCR meetup at 8pm on Tuesday

2009-03-22 Thread Jukka Zitting
Hi all,

I'd like to confirm the meetup schedule that has been discussed over
various forums. Most notably, unlike originally planned the meetup
will start at *8pm* on Tuesday, March 24th.

See http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/JcrMeetupMarch2009 for more
details about the event. If you are in Amsterdam or nearby on Tuesday
evening next week, you're welcome to join us to discuss all things
JCR. The meetup is free for everyone to attend, but please sign up in
advance at  
https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=cDFlMTdSV3dKT1lkYUlVa2lWUFdkQXc6MA.

The meetup takes place at the Mövenpick hotel in central Amsterdam
(Google map: http://tinyurl.com/da2rf3). I don't know yet the exact
floor or room where the meetup takes place, but check the ApacheCon
posters at the hotel for guidance. You can also call me at +41 76 417
56 70 if you have trouble finding your way there.

See you there!

BR,

Jukka Zitting

In fact, all of Sling is just OSGi Bundles and should be easily
pluggable into just about any OSGi framework, including Equinox and
Knopflerfish.

There is a how-to run the Jackrabbit stuff inside Equinox at [1]. And
there is a page on running Sling on the ServiceMix Kernel at [2].

There is a slight drawback: You have to setup and install "manually".

> How about running Sling and Jackrabbit, without Felix, in Spring DM?

Should actually be very possible, though I do not know, whether this has
already been tried. Any feedback would of course be welcome.

Felix

I have made some tests runnig Sling on the ServiceMix Kernel and
everything was ok. An OSGi R4 Http Service implementation is mandatory
in order to work, for instance Pax Web [1].

Regarding with this, maybe we should provide a systematic way to test
Sling on other OSGi containers than Apache Felix. Using Pax Exam [2]
with the Sling integration tests could be a choice.

WDYT?

Good idea.

I was thinking along the lines of creating a "dummy bundle", which
contains references to "core" Sling bundles. Then we could instruct to
point the OSGi Bundle Repository Client to the Sling Bundle Repository
and install the "dummy bundle" to have Sling easily installed.
