Achim, Actually I'm avoiding all but a minimal use, doing everything in OSGi + actors. I've not found good docs on pax exam, as there are so many dead links out there. Or maybe it is just that I need to retry links more. The link you gave me failed twice. (Must not be too many pax exam users in India.)
Anyway, I'm finding OSGi + actors to be really easy to use. And now that I have a shell working, I think I'll be set for a while. This is a chance now for me to start writing code that uses osgi/felix/karaf/cellar. Before starting in on OSGi, I had already written a small cluster manager using actors. It was a lot of fun and really easy to do. (Note--I use a non-standard actor model. I would NOT say the same thing if I was using regular actors!) So what I'm really working on is merging cellar and my own work. But to date most of my time has been spent on figuring out how to do integration testing. Hopefully now I can focus instead on learning the basics, like creating features and such. --bill On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 3:07 PM, Achim Nierbeck <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Bill, > > the Pax-Web Project also uses Pax-Exam and Pax-Exam-Karaf very > intensively, you might find some more examples there :-) [1] > And it's probably best to look at the 3.0.x branch of it, due to that > trunk is being merged to a newer version right now :) > > regards, Achim > > [1] - https://github.com/ops4j/org.ops4j.pax.web/tree/pax-web-3.0.x > > > 2013/5/22 William la Forge <[email protected]> > >> This is great.
