Cocoon, Spring and OSGi

[Daniel Fagerstrom]

It seem like the Spring-OSGi integration work is taking of quite 
seriously http://www.osgi.org/blog/2006/08/osgi-and-spring_29.html. Key 
players from both OSGi, Spring and some large companies are working on it.

For Cocoon I think the way to go forward is that we make the part of the 
blocks architecture that is about "sitemap polymorphism", blocks 
protocol etc, Spring managed (like I have been talking about for some 
while and even started to work on, unfortunately I haven't been able to 
spend much time on Cocoon for the last months).

For the Spring-OSGi bridge, that make inter block (bundle) component 
communication possible, we should move towards using the things the 
Spring community develops. I have subscribed to their mailing list and 
will see if their current direction solves our needs and otherwise take 
part in the discussions.
