Re: Building better OSGi applications

Aries jpa has some parts that do not require blueprint but the container managed transactions do require it. What I wanted to express is that the container managed transaction feature is currently missing in DS and that it would be nice to have it. If you compare user transactions and container

Newbie here. Is there a good resource aimed at users that describes in fairly good detail standard OSGI features as well as something that compares and contrasts the 3rd-party approaches? On Jul 19, 2014 8:27 AM, Bram Pouwelse wrote: I've built a proprietary solution for managed JPA with suppo

I've built a proprietary solution for managed JPA with support for JTA transactions which is using the dependency manager. I'm willing to share this but then I'll need to change some package names first. @Paul, do you think this could be a candidate for an Amdatu project? Bram 2014-07-19 14:1

I assume you're talking about JPA with Apache Aries? I'm not very familiar with Aries, but if it really requires Blueprint I would seriously consider not using CMP. It's fairly easy to manage JPA transactions manually, so CMP doesn't really justify the downsides in my opinion. Cheers, Paul On F

Thank you all for helping me understand. I finally resolved the problem by making sensei-common a bundle as well, and exporting only the packages I used. I now have two bundles: common-services which has a logger and networking-bundle which creates a WIFI access point using linux commands. Now, t

I currently see one important case for blueprint. If you want to use jpa with container managed persistence then blueprint is the only working solution in OSGi I know. As jpa is used a lot in business applications I think this is an important feature. As I generally like DS I would be very inte
