[apacheds] Moving to OSGi

[Trustin Lee]

Hi all,

I'd like to know if we can embed OSGi kernel into OSGi kernel.  I heard someone say that it is possible.  If it is true, I think we can consider building ApacheDS on top of OSGi platform.  I think it will save a lot of time for us ( e.g. dynamic reconfiguration).  But I'm almost a layman in OSGi field for now, so I'm not sure this kind of thought is right thing yet.  It would be great if we have some discussion here.

We have a lot of features to implement and every feature we implement will require a good extension point IMHO.  If we standardize the extension, configuration, and discovery mechanism using OSGi, I think we'll be happier than ever.
