Thanks Richard >It all depends on how isolated you want your instances to be, but one approach is to modify your bundle to provide a factory for creating instances of you app
Creating an instance is as easy as instanitating a class (which uses many many other classes including singletons), but I do need the instances to be isolated so that the singletons in one instance do not interfere with or overwrite the singletons in another. Could that work with your factory solution? -----Original Message----- From: Richard S.

It used to be that you could do this by just installing the bundle again using a different location, but OSGi R4 added the additional requirement that the symbolic name + version pair must be unique, so this is no longer possible. It all depends on how isolated you want your instances to be, but one approach is to modify your bundle to provide a factory for creating instances of you app, then you can creating as many instances as you want. A hacky approach is to create another copy of your bundle with a different symbolic name and install two copies. -> richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi all > > Is it possible to run multiple instances of one bundle simultaneously? > > The idea here is to use OSGi as a way of running multiple instances, > in one JRE, of a very messy client application that uses lots of > singletons and so on.
