With WSO2 Carbon [1], which is powered by Apache Axis2, you can deploy OSGi bundles as Web services. However, with the current implementation, in the META-INF directory of the bundle, you need to include the Axis2 services.xml file. This is how the administration Web services in Carbon are deployed.
We are in the process of writing service listeners which listen for certain OSGi service properties. e.g. if your OSGi bundle contains a JAXWS service, the Axis2 JAXWS deployer needs to be called. So in your JAXWS service bundle, you will need to register an OSGi service with a special property, say serviceType=jaxws. The OSGi service listener will call the relevant deployers. This feature will be available next week. In the mean time, you could check out the WSO2 WSAS 3.0-beta release [2] which is based on the WSO2 Carbon framework. You can drop your OSGi Web services bundles into the $CARBON_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/plugins directory. To run Carbon with the OSGi console enabled, $CARBON_HOME/bin/wso2server.sh -DosgiConsole Thanks Azeez 1. http://wso2.org/projects/carbon 2. http://wso2.org/projects/wsas/java On Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 12:49 PM, Demetris G <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > what is the current state of OSGi and Web Services?
