osgi & java ee: a hybrid approach to enterprise java application development, sahoo
DESCRIPTION
There's a considerable activity in the enterprise Java community about the use of OSGi in Java EE applications. We call such applications "hybrid applications." With hybrid applications, developers can continue to build standard and familiar enterprise application components, such as Java Servlets and EJBs, and take full advantage of: * Features such as modularity/dependency management, service dynamism, and more provided by OSGi * Infrastructure services such as transaction management, security, persistence, and more offered by Java EE This session will present the current state of affairs, discuss the benefits of hybrid applications, and demonstrate development and deployment of such applications. GlassFish will be used for demonstration.TRANSCRIPT

OSGi
Service oriented dynamic
module system for Java
7
OSGi Layers
8
Module Layer
• Bundle – a unit of modularity in OSGi• Encapsulation• Lifecycle independent of the JVM• Versionable• Packaged as a JAR (classes + Manifest with OSGi
metadata)• Very explicit dependency specification• Well defined dependency resolution rules
9
Bundle-SymbolicName: com.acme.hello.startup
Bundle-Name: Hello World OSGi Sample
Bundle-Version: 1.0.1
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Activator: com.acme.hello.startup.MyActivator
Export-Package: com.acme.hello.startup;version=1.0.0
Import-Package: org.osgi.framework;version=1.3
OSGi Metadata

11
Lifecycle Layer
• Provides an API to manage bundles– BundleContext.install– BundleContext.uninstall– Bundle.update
• BundleActivator• BundleListener – listen to BundleEvents
– Synchronous– Asynchronous
12
Bundle Lifecycle

13
Service Layer
• In-VM SOA• Service Registry
– Register – Unregister
• Service is a POJO• Service Dynamism
– Service tracking
• Service Discovery– LDAP filter based queries

OSGi benefits – a recap
• Layered approach
• Modularity– Enforces modularity
– Ensures class-space consistency
– Enables component reuse
– Supports versioning and evolution
• Dynamism– Bundles
– Services
• Ease of deployment and management– OBR
• Bundle deployment order is not relevant
– Faster deployment cycle

OSGi meets Java EE
17
<Insert Picture Here>
Agenda
• OSGi 101• OSGi meets Java EE – Hybrid Applications• Advanced usecases• Hybrid Application Demo• Q & A
18
Java EEPlatform of choice for enterprise applications
• Widely used APIs (JPA, JTA, JAXB, JNDI)• Component Models (Servlet, EJB, JAX-RS)• Frameworks (JSF, CDI)• Ease of Use (Annotations, Convention over
Configuration)• Platform provided infrastructure services
(Transaction, Security, Persistence, Remoting)• Tools (IDE, Management, Monitoring)• Ubiquitous deployment platform for enterprise
applications
19
Hybrid ApplicationsMeeting of the two worlds
• OSGi + Java EE = Hybrid application• Hybrid application
– An OSGi bundle– And a Java EE Archive
• Leverage the capabilities of both the platforms– Enterprise applications can now
• be built as modular OSGi bundles• use OBR, Config Admin, service tracking, etc.
– OSGi bundles can now use Java EE services like JTA, JPA, etc.
20
Current State
• OSGi Enterprise Expert Group (EEG)– Relased OSGi Service Platform Enterprise Specification 4.2
in 2010
• Open source efforts– Project GlassFish– Project Aries– Eclipse Gemini
21
OSGi/Web Application (WAB)
• Web Application Bundle (WAB)– WAR + OSGi metadata + Web-ContextPath header
• Can use all enterprise APIs (like JPA, JTA)• Wrapped WAR support
– webbundle: URL scheme
22
Bundle-SymbolicName: com.acme.hellowab
Bundle-Name: Hello World OSGi Web Application
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Activator: com.acme.hellowab.MyActivator
Import-Package: javax.servlet; javax.servlet.http; version=3.0,
org.osgi.framework; version=1.5
Bundle-ClassPath: WEB-INF/classes, WEB-INF/lib/foo.jar
Web-ContextPath: /hello

Hybrid application bundle lifecycle
24
Enterprise OSGi Specifications
• OSGi/Web Application• OSGi/JPA• OSGi/JDBC• OSGi/JTA• OSGi/JNDI• OSGi/HTTP Service• OSGi Blueprint Service
25
EE APIs in OSGi
• OSGi/JDBC– JDBC driver as DataSourceFactory– Dynamic discovery of driver details– Multiple versions of same driver
• OSGi/JTA– JTA artifacts available as OSGi Services
• OSGi/JPA– Enhancement of JPA entities at runtime– Same packaging rules as JPA and also deploy entities as a
bundle– Shared Persistence Unit and thereby shared second level
cache
26
Tools
• BND (http://www.aqute.biz/Code/Bnd)– de-facto tool for OSGi metadata generation– maven-bundle-plugin– Ant task
• IDE– Eclipse– NetBeans– IntelliJ IDEA

• OSGi 101• OSGi meets Java EE – Hybrid Applications• Advanced usecases• Hybrid Application Demo• Q & A
29
OSGi/EJB Application
• Allows you to develop managed, transactional, secure OSGi services with very little knowledge of OSGi
• Make your existing EJB service available to OSGi clients with little effort
• Achieved through simple manifest metadata– Export-EJB: ALL/None/<names of stateless local EJB>
30
Bundle-SymbolicName: com.acme.helloEjbOsgi
Bundle-Name: Hello World OSGi EJB Bundle
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Import-Package: javax.ejb; version=3.0,
Export-EJB: ALL
OSGi Metadata of an OSGi/EJB bundle
31
CDI
• Brings type-safe dependency injection to EE platform– Strong typing and loose coupling
• Well defined life cycle of stateful objects bound to life cycle contexts
• Ability to decorate and intercept injected Beans• An event notification model• An ability to develop portable extensions that
integrates with the container to extend the runtime
32
GlassFish CDI/OSGi Portable Extension
• Use of CDI for type safe injection of OSGi services
@WebServlet(urlPatterns = “/login”)
public class FooServlet implements HttpServlet {
@Inject
@org.glassfish.osgicdi.OSGiService(
dynamic=”true”,
timeout = 200,
serviceCriteria=<an ldap query >)
FooService foo;
}
