Hi,
I am looking for a simple stand alone client example using Felix. I have a core
jar, services jar and then third party jars that I want to move away from using
Web Start to repackage to using an implementation of OSGI hoping Felix will be
able to:
1. Update jars as needed for bug fixes. So if I have a minor version change I
want to have the client updated.
Yes, this should be possible.
2. Support for Native dlls. So If I have a jar for Windows and one for Linux
the client gets the appropriate native lib jars.
This too, just package your native libs inside the associated bundle.
There are some limitations to native library support in OSGi if you have
a complex set of native libraries with dependencies among them, but
self-contained native libraries work well.
3. Compression similar to pack200 for Web Start. There is as high as a 3x
reduction in size when compressing a standard jsr using pack200 and I was
wondering if Felix has that capability or can use pack200 jars.
The Felix framework has no support for pack200...I am not even sure what
this would entail.
I am planning to use Web Start to host the "launcher" jar then have Felix load
the core, services and 3rd party jars since I am thinking Felix does not have the ability
to do the initial load of the jvm if one is not found.
Correct.
Thoughts? Am I shooting to high for Felix?
No, it sounds pretty reasonable.
