Hi Guillaume,
my comments inline:
- Spring (alone) may be used within an OSGi Container but it is not fully
compliant for this environment (classloading issues.. namespace handling..)
It depends of the container and the Spring integration of Spring.
- Spring DM is (was ;) the OSGi compliant version of Spring.
Not really, Spring DM is an extension of Spring to add core OSGi stuff
(services, service references, etc).
- Blueprint Standard was originally designed out of Spring DM.
Blueprint is the norm/standard designed starting from Spring DM. As I
said, Spring DM is the reference implementation of Blueprint.
- Spring DM has moved to Gemini Blueprint.
Correct
- Gemini Blueprint (Eclipse) as well as Apache Aries are different
implementations of the OSGi blueprint Standard.
Correct
- Aries is the implementation integrated within Servicemix.
Correct.
Regards
JB
As it is fully my project is a Servicemix bundle, I will then go for blueprint
;)
Thanks again,
Regards,
Guillaume.

Subject: Re: ServiceMix 4/Camel: Blueprint or Spring DM ?
Basically, another "guide line" is:
- to use Blueprint, you have to be in an OSGi container with Blueprint
support
- if you choose Spring (and pure Spring, not Spring DM), even if it can
work in ServiceMix, it can also work "outside" of OSGi (in Tomcat for
instance).

Hi,
I would like to have your opinion on what could be the best container to choose
for OSGi bundles deployed on Servicemix 4 ?
Starting from scratch - Shall we start with Spring DM or blueprint ?
It seems they are both pretty the same, but nearly all readings I get,
describes Camel Spring projects...
It seems that Spring DM is more prowerful in terms of bean management,
autowiring capabilities.. transaction management, and comes out with a
tremendous number of extensions..
I do not find any clear info (beside the spec) on blueprint but it appears to
be the standard in the OSGi world and may be wider used and adopted within the
new versions..
Thanks for the clarification,
Guillaume.
