ECF provides a full spec-compliant and ct-tested implementation of R6
OSGi Remote Services and Remote Service Admin [1].
As of today's release, ECF's RSA implementation and dependencies are
available via Maven Central [2]. Consequently, the Karaf features
listed at [1] now use Maven Central.
ECF's RSA impl supports a variety of distribution providers [3],
including Jax-RS impls CXF and Jersey, Google RPC/Protocol Buffers,
XML-RPC, MQTT, JMS, ROSGI, Hazelcast, and JavaGroups. It's
straightforward to introduce custom distribution or discovery systems
while remaining specification-compliant [4] .
A new capability we are preparing to release soon is using RSA for
Python-based OSGi services [5]. This will allow Python impls and
consumers of arbitrary OSGi services [5].
