Examining the OSGi Marketplace

The OSGi Service Platform is a standard dynamic module system for Java. Already under adoption by most major platform vendors, OSGi is a disruptive technology that stands to transform the packaging, delivery, and management of Java applications and services. Extending the capabilities of the Java platform, OSGi supports the ability to deploy multiple versions of a module, discover new modules dynamically, and deploy modules without restarting the system. In this session, analyst Kirk Knoernschild will introduce the OSGi Service Platform, examine the current OSGI market, and explore OSGi's place in the next generation Java application platform.
