Hi Thomas,
I think we met at JavaOne briefly...I haven't had a chance to look
closely at Joel's work yet (just waiting for the removal of the EPL
licensed class) so I'll let him jump in with more details. I think
one of the interesting areas is going to be with sharing services
between the two environments. For example, being able to consume OSGi
services from within SCA and having SCA able to export services to
OSGi. Other frameworks like Spring are also building this type of
bridge so OSGi will potentially allow us to access those as well.
Longer term, I think it would be interesting to see if OSGi and SCA
services could potentially converge as they share a lot of things in
common.
Thanks for the offer of help and as soon as Joel replaces the one
class, we'll check in his patch so we can look at more specifics.

---------------------------------------
Joel,
Is there some more documentation on this work? I do not know much
about how SCA works but I would like to see how this fits into the
OSGi environment. Can you provide some steps to get this running
on Equinox? Any other information on how SCA and OSGi can interact
with each other would also be interesting to me.
Thanks. Tom.
P.S. I'm a developer on the Equinox Framework team. Please let us
know if you need any assistence from the Equinox team to advance
this work (bug fixes, enhancements, questions etc.).
Initial OSGi support effort
---------------------------
Key: TUSCANY-610
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-610
Project: Tuscany
Issue Type: New Feature
Environment: Equinox implementation of OSGi
Reporter: Joel Hawkins
Attachments: OSGI-SCA.zip
An initial implementation of an OSGi binding for exposing SCA
services as OSGi services.
An initial implementation of an OSGi implementation for reusing
OSGi services as SCA atomic components
An OSGi-aware bootstrap environment (which can probably be reduced
a bit)
A repackaging of some of the SupplyChain example
There's one class derived from an EPL-copyrighted class - I left
the EPL copyright intact.
The zip contains the samples, the OSGi binding, and a patch for
the core. Most of the patch is the OSGi launcher code. I don't
think it belongs in the core, but that's where I had it while
developing. The only other bit in the patch is a change of two of
the Defaultbootstrapper's fields from private to protected.
Also, some of the OSGi packaging for existing jars (spi, commands,
etc) aren't part of the zip. Not sure how you want to deal with
the repackaging issue.
