I believe that all OSGi containers can load bundles from InputStreams,
which is all you would need.

It's moderately fundamental. There's a JIRA for it.

Is it a question of "someone needs to implement the right services" or
is it something more fundamental than that?

Loading bundles from inside jars, and read-only filesystems

2016-08-08 Thread list+org . apache . felix 
Hello.

Two quick questions:

1. Is Felix able to load bundles from inside a jar? Specifically: I
would like to be able to embed Felix into a single-jar application
by putting my Main class and Felix classes into a single jar along with
the individual bundle jars.

2. Is Felix able to run on entirely read-only filesystems? I notice
that the OSGi framework mandates caching, but it doesn't say that the
cache has to be on the filesystem. Is there perhaps an in-memory cache
implementation available?

Thanks,
M
