The ServiceMix team is pleased to announce the second release candidate [1] of
ServiceMix Kernel.
Version 1.0.0 of Apache ServiceMix Kernel will provide a stable and
efficient platform to build OSGi based applications.
It provides the following features:
* a local or remote shell console for inspecting the installed OSGi
applications, viewing the logs, viewing files, starting and stopping OSGi bundles
and lots of other nice features. Commands can be added at runtime by deploying new bundles in the Kernel.
* the file deployer allows the deployment of plain Spring-DM configuration
files, exploded or plain
bundles. Other types of artifacts can be handled by extending the deployer at
runtime.
* security support for deploying keystores used for SSL connections or new user
realms for securing
applications access.
* a simple, yet powerful, provisioning system that allows a whole application
to be installed in a single
command line using a simple xml descriptor that also embeds some configuration
data
