There are two options (that I know of) for running automated tests
inside an OSGi container:
junit4osgi: http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-ipojo-junit4osgi.html
pax:exam: http://wiki.ops4j.org/display/paxexam/Pax+Exam
Each have their pros and cons. junit4osgi is the simpler/easier of
the two, but only supports the felix framework (afaik) and doesn't
support some more advanced OSGi features like extension bundles (or at
least it didn't the last time I tried it). Also, it only supports
writing your tests using JUnit3, and once you get those JUnit4 you
never want to go back :)
Pax:exam on the other had is quite flexible and powerful. It supports
all the major OSGi frameworks, and I haven't found an OSGi
configuration it couldn't support. On the other hand it is very
complex, and the documentation is a bit sketchy. When it's working
it's awesome, when it doesn't work it can be infuriating.
Both have maven plugins that make running the tests from maven a cinch.
FWIW I'm using pax:exam, primarily because I need the flexibility and
extension bundle support.

Kind of a newbie question..
We use GlassFish V3 which is OSGI (felix) based (there are a number
of OSGI modules running when the server is started).
I would like to write some tests to test the validity of OSGI
bundles deployed to GlassFish V3. Can I do this - or, s the test
framework
expecting to launch its own felix instance?
thanks.
