Hi Lift folks, Today I checked in the first little step towards OSGi support:
- Modules lift-util and lift-webkit are no longer plain vanilla JARs, but built as OSGi bundles (OSGi metadata in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF) - New module lift-osgi which offers (yet very limited) support for Lift application bundles (to ones you write) - New example module (under sites) examples-osgi with one (yet very limited) examples-osgi-hello bundle The first thing I would like to ask you is to verify that the changes to the existing modules are free of side effects: Lift should work without OSGi just like before. As the changes to lift-util and lift-webkit are merely in the manifest, I am very confident, but just to be sure ... And for those of you interested in OSGi: Currently there is only support for resources (templates) contributed from Lift-powered bundles to a composite Lift application. Yet no snippets, no custom dispatch, etc. Please take a look at sites/examples-osgi/hello. Note the new manifest header Lift-Config in the POM (the value is yet without any meaning). This bundle contributes its resources under webapp to a composite Lift application. The actual work is done by lift-osgi which is an implementation of the extender pattern. In order to run the example, I suggest you use Pax Runner <http://paxrunner.ops4j.org/space/Pax+Runner>with the scala and web profiles and the provided component configuration file at sites/examples-osgi/hello/hello.component. Else you will have to provision OSGi bundles for Scala, ScalaModules, Lift and all required dependencies (take a look into hello.component) by hand. Of course I would be very glad to get some reviews on my Scala code, because I guess there is still a long way of learning ahead ...
