Hi. I'm interested in using ACE in my product. I've always had trouble managing the configuration of my OSGi bundles. I create a new release each week with a set of bundles updated. Sometimes I add bundles, sometimes I remove, but quite often something seems to go wrong with the configuration.
What I really want is something that can download the latest distribution and install it for me, when the user says so. It feels like ACE can do this. Unfortunately I cannot see much documentation on the site, so may I be indulged some questions? - How many targets can ACE scale to? I have over 2000 new users each month, and probably about 20,000 active users - How does target management work when users are behind common-or-garden ISPs with dynamic IPs etc? I don't really care about what each individual target is running, although it would be a nice feature to be able to remotely manage a given target. But this would be exceptional (maybe changing the logging on a particular user's target to diagnose some problem) - How can this work with an installer? Ideally I'd like to install my entire product when the user downloads it and not have a two stage installation - My app runs a Jetty web server where the Update UI lies... how does this work with ACE? Do I contact the ACE server API, or interact with the agent bundles co-located on the same OSGi container? I use Felix and bndtools btw. Dan
