Sorry, that should say, "...the OSGi R4.2 specification OR the OSGi
JavaDoc..."
Thanks for your reply. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the
OSGi reference will have JavaDocs for the Felix Object, which is what
I was looking for.
http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v42/
if you are interested in learning about OSGi or various other
tutorials, etc. available on the web. If you haven't already done
so, you should also read:
http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-framework-launching-and-embedding.html
As the above page explains, Felix implements the OSGi standard
Framework interface, which is why you'll want to read the OSGi
JavaDoc. I guess we could generate the OSGi JavaDoc and make it
available on our site somewhere, but I'm pretty sure someone else
has put it online already.
This was the first thing I read, but it didn't seem to deal with the
Felix/Non-Felix (or OSGi/non-OSGi) case, so I started looking at the
presentations which were more helpful. I'll look this over again.
thanks,
bjorn

Hey all,
I have a large and complex Java app (call it the main app) that
would like to use features from another large and complex Java app
(call it the library app). The main app is a standard app written
without knowledge of OSGi and the library app is OSGi-based. I
have read some of the slideshows and tutorials and so on that you
have online, and my impression is that there are some facilities
for this. For example, http://felix.apache.org/site/presentations.data/felix-apachecon-20071114.pdf
gives this bit of code:
// Define configuration properties
Map configMap = new StringMap(false);
configMap.put(..., ...);
...
// Create application activators
List list = new ArrayList();
list.add(new Activator());
try {
// Create a framework instance
Felix felix = new Felix(configMap, list);
// Start framework instance
felix.start();
...
// Stop framework instance
felix.stop();
} catch (Exception ex) { ... }
Ordinarily, my next step would be to look at the Javadocs for the
Felix object to figure out what this all means. But I can't find
the Javadocs for this project. I've looked through the site, I've
googled, I've searched the mailing list a bit (hard to search, eg,
by date), and I've downloaded the framework and run maven to the
best of my knowledge (I'm not exactly a maven maven). Still no
love. Am I missing something obvious? Can someone point me in the
right direction?
More generally, other than possible code rework in my library app,
what would be involved in larger task of using features that exist
in an OSGi app in a non-OSGi app?
Thanks for your help,
bjorn
