Re: OpenEJB in an OSGi container
Succeeded to load OpenEJB in Felix 1.2.1 OSGi container. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-921 for details. It's not perfect but it fits my needs (for now - just had to produce a proof of concept). /zog What about a wiki/blob about this Proof Of Concept. Good works !

Re: OpenEJB in an OSGi container
It's been a long time since I work on that and I still have not found the time to continue this integration work. Anyway, the code I used is available at: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/servicemix/smx4/features/branches/ejb3 It uses a spring-powered bundle to set up OpenEJB: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/servicemix/smx4/features/branches/ejb3/deployer/src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/openejb-spring.xml and the related java classes are available at: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/servicemix/smx4/features/branches/ejb3/deployer/src/main/java/org/apache/servicemix/ejb3/deployer/ Unfortunately, this may be a bit outdated :-( Anyway, the idea was to be able to listen to newly installed bundles and discover EJB inside those so that they are automatically configured as plain EJB or web services. Though, this was in the context of ServiceMix, where the EJBs were to be exposed on the JBI bus and eventually through HTTP/SOAP too.

Re: OpenEJB in an OSGi container
Thanks, Guillaume. That gives me a pretty good idea on what the pieces are. Zog, let me know what OSGi kernel and version you're using and I'll see if I can't whip up some boot code for you.
