Hi Nicolas, I had done some work with embedding an OSGi environment within the server to host plugins, hoping to slowly modularize the server in a sensible way. But that code has been pulled out, as we opted for the Java ServiceLoader approach for plugins.
When deploying into an OSGi environment, I've approached it as embedded development. The server only adds the REST api (which isn't needed when talking directly to the database), and the Webadmin (replaced by the OSGi webconsole. well, except for visualization). We've been relaxed about good OSGi discipline in the server bits, because it seemed like OSGi development is embedded development. Are you developing an application in OSGi, or are you interested in replicating the server (including REST+webadmin) in OSGi? -Andreas On Apr 25, 2011, at 5:50 AM, Nicolas Jouanin wrote: > Hi, > > I think an OSGi section in the Neo4j wiki would be great. > Of course there's no problem for adding content from my documentation into > Neo4j wiki.
