Over the last couple of days, we have seen some good suggestions and support for the initial proposal. For implementing the Remote Services, some candidates have been identified (Axis2/C and SCA bindings in Tuscany). Before starting a vote we need a couple of mentors to support the project

Hi David, Noel, OSGi Remote Services is all about developing in the OSGi programming model with bundles and services and using the concepts there to define a remote service. BTW the SCA concept of intents was actually added to the Remote Services specifications, so there is a soft link there.

Alexander, I'm confused about the remote API aspect- since Celix is in C why would you implement the remote API in Java with CXF? Why wouldn't you use Axis2/C? Sanjiva. On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 8:15 PM, Alexander Broekhuis a.broekh...@gmail.comwrote: Hello, I would like to announce the

Hi Sanjiva, Sorry for the confusion, the CXF project is named as dependency to test the remote services in combination with other java based OSGi implementations. The C part should be in C, and Axis2/C seems a good candidate. But at the moment we are also looking at other, lighter, protocols to

I think this is interesting. However, I'd like to point out that you may need to take care in how you position this. I believe the OSGi specs allow for compliant open source implementations, but it is unlikely this implementation will ever be fully compliant. So, you'd probably be best to
