I have used DOSGi successfully with Aries, and there will be a discussion of using in Enterprise OSGi in Action (http://www.manning.com/cummins)
DOSGi is really good for exposing OSGi services as Web Services, and for consuming Web Services as OSGi services. I would definitely recommend it. The only thing I would say against it is that I have only been successful using the single bundle distribution of DOSGi 1.2, and that it can have one or two funny interactions with the Jetty web container if you have it installed. I have also been working on "Modular EJB" support in Aries, and we have a working integration with OpenEJB currently sitting in trunk (we won't be releasing until OpenEJB 4.0.0 is released, and we have some doc). This works nicely with the Remote Services specification (DOSGi) and also with the more normal remote EJB model.

If you're looking at a very fast DOSGi implementation, you could have a look at my blog (http://gnodet.blogspot.com/2011/06/distributed-osgi-in-fabric.html).

However, now I would like to expose these services remotely (EJB-like via RMI or WS-style via SOAP). What is the recommended approach to do this? Is there already some support in the current version of Aries to do this or is this planned in the future? Should I use an app server like Geronimo and deploy my bundles in there after which I can use the typical JEE services (such as remoting) provided by an app server. Or should I go for a framework like the DOSGi framework of CXF? Any pointers regarding the possibilities, recommended approaches, experiences, samples would be very much appreciated. Thx for the help, Frederik. <pre> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dexia disclaimer: http://www.dexia.com/maildisclaimer.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------- </pre> -- ------------------------ Guillaume Nodet ------------------------ Blog: http://gnodet.blogspot.com/ ------------------------ Open Source SOA http://fusesource.com
