Summary: Support OSGi Containers
Key: ISIS-1301
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-1301
Project: Isis
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Core
Reporter: Jörg Rade
Assignee: Dan Haywood
Priority: Minor
Currently the war artifact contains all jars the application depends on.
* Repackeging these unchanged jars over and over takes some time (in my case
this is at par with compiling dom).
* The footprint of the war when redeploying it over thin connections requires
more bandwidth.
* Supporting OSGi containers would have the addional benefit that only changed
artifacts would have to exchanged in the running container. Production systems
could benefit from the possibility of the OSGi lifecycle, ie. replacing
artifacts without downtime.
This will involve multiple steps, eg.
* Using more bundled versions of dependencies (where available - Wicket,
DataNucleus, Jetty already are bundled)
* Building a bundled war (wab)
* Making isis libs conform to OSGi's class loader requirements
* Bridging the OSGi ServiceRegistry to use its Servies as DomainServices
