Subheadline:
Solstice is a RIA framework which fuses the power of Flex and OSGi to allow development of modular rich internet applications.

Out of the box, Solstice provides the following features:
- An OSGi 4 compliant container with Flex based management console.
- A platform for deploying modular Flex applications as OSGi bundles.
- Rich server functionality using Blaze DS to expose OSGi services as remote objects.
Solstice is based on the following technology:
Arum uses Solstice to drive it's "DiDo" product.
Solstice
currently deploys as a WAR file, but eventually will become a pure OSGi
stack - no application server required and you can use which ever OSGi
platform you prefer. That said, the next version of Solstice will contain a pure Equinox stack and of course better documentation.
As a user, simply deploy Solstice.war to
your application server. So far it has only been tested on JBoss 4.2.2
and please read the documentation for some initial configuration.
As
a developer, you can develop OSGi bundles containing Flex modules and
use the interface to install and control them. Again, see the
documentation for more information.
I invite readers to check it
out and comment as I'm very keen to improve the next version with your
feedback and feel I'm still learning how best to serve the open source
community. Subject to workload, I'm prepared to respond to queries
here, on my personal blog or via the email address on the Solstice web
page as best I can.
