Hello,
I would like to build a special kind of OSGi project(s) with maven and
just discovered pax-construct.
This are my requirements:
- some "runtime-bundles" together are providing a "runtime-system"
- some lose "common-bundles" providing additional functions
- some "items" formed of a item-specific combination of "runtime-
bundles" plus some item-specific "item-bundles"
- some "deployments" as the final systems to run, depending on target
platform and other parameters are combining the bundles from a
deployment-
specific combination of "items" plus a deployment-specific combination
of "common-bundles" plus some deployment-specific "deployment-bundles"
(- multiple arrangements of some "application-bundles" have to be
installed into every running "deployment")
My first plan for the project structure looks like this:
root
* runtime
- runtime.bundle1
- runtime.bundle2
- runtime.bundle3
- ...
- runtime.bundle9
* common
- common.bundle1
- common.bundle2
- ...
- common.bundle6
* items
- itemA
+ definition of the combination of item-specific
runtime-bundles (e.g. runtime.bundle1 and runtime.bundle3)
- runtime.bundle1.itemAFragment (e.g. spring-dm configuration)
- runtime.bundle3.itemAFragment (e.g. spring-dm configuration)
- itemB
- ...
- itemE
* deployments
* deploymentU
+ definition of the combination of deployment-specific items
(e.g. itemA and itemB)
+ definition of the combination of deployment-specific
common-bundles (e.g. common.bundle1, common.bundle2 and
common.bundle3)
+ definition of the combination of external bundles (wrapped
external jars)
- deploymentU.bundle1
- deploymentU.bundle2
- ...
- deploymentU.bundle5
* deploymentV
* ...
* deploymentZ
* applications
* applicationAplha
- applicationAplha.bundle1
- applicationAplha.bundle2
- ...
- applicationAplha.bundle6
* applicationBeta
* ...
* applicationDelta
I played with maven, OSGi and pax-construct and recognised, that pax-
construct defines a structure how the projects are arranged. Pax-
construct generates "poms", "provision" and "runner" configurations
under the root-level. I think I need something like them under each
"item" and each "deployment" for the definition of the combinations.
Could someone please tell me, if I'am on the right way and if pax-
construct could give me some benefit in implementing this structure?
I hope I could clarify my problem. If it would be helpful, I can send
more details.
regards,
Lars
