DESCRIPTION
Modern enterprise applications must be scalable, maintainable, and modular. Unfortunately, by itself Java EE doesn't do modularity very well. The Enterprise OSGi model enforces simple rules to make Java better at modularity. And now, projects such as Apache Aries and Geronimo provide pluggable components that make it easier than ever to use OSGi's mature modularity system in your own enterprise applications.
Enterprise OSGi in Action is a hands-on guide for developers using OSGi to build the next generation of enterprise Java applications. By presenting relevant examples and case studies, it guides the reader through the maze of new standards and projects. Armed with this knowledge, readers will learn how to build and deploy enterprise OSGi applications, use automatic dependency provisioning, declaratively provide enterprise qualities of service to their business logic, and make use of the Java EE technologies they know and love in a familiar way.
For those that need even greater flexibility or those that crave an even more detailed understanding, this book will also describe how a user can build their own custom application container using Open Source components and the OSGi framework.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- How to build business applications in a modular, dynamic way
- Simple and reliable component reuse
- Detailed coverage of Apache Aries
- In-depth coverage of the Enterprise OSGi specification
This book is perfect for a JEE developer exploring OSGi. Even if you've never used OSGi before, by the end of Part One you'll build a dynamically extensible enterprise application that can be bug-fixed on the fly, even during use!
