http://osgi.dzone.com/news/current en http://osgi.dzone.com/news/whats-glassfish-doing-osgi OSGi has certainly seen a lot of engagement in the weeks leading up to JavaOne 2008. Jerome Dochez, the GlassFish architect and a Principal Engineer at Sun, tells us about how it fits in with GlassFish. Hi Jerome, what've you been up to recently? http://osgi.dzone.com/news/whats-glassfish-doing-osgi#comments http://osgi.dzone.com/crss/node/2701 Fri, 02 May 2008 18:58:44 -0400 2871 0 geertjan http://osgi.dzone.com/sites/all/files/avatars/picture-250147.jpg Fri, 02 May 2008 18:58:44 -0400 geertjan 2701 at http://osgi.dzone.com http://osgi.dzone.com/news/interview-rod-johnson-springso SpringSource has released a server platform, based on OSGi. Not only do its internals use OSGi, but developers will also be able to make use of it directly. What does that mean? And what are the benefits?

More significant, though, is that OSGi has been chosen as the module system for GlassFish. This is a big win for the OSGi camp in their on-going battle with JSR 277. http://osgi.dzone.com/news/glassfish-v3-major-win-osgi#comments http://osgi.dzone.com/crss/node/2455 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 19:16:56 -0400 3420 0 aslamkhn http://osgi.dzone.com/sites/all/files/avatars/picture-276360.jpg Wed, 16 Apr 2008 19:16:56 -0400 aslamkhn 2455 at http://osgi.dzone.com http://osgi.dzone.com/news/there-place-osgi-enterprise-ap-0 In part 1, Aslam Khan, technical director of PBT Group, introduced us to OSGi.
