Gateway Software Symposium
April 10 - 11, 2015
OSGi Unleashed
Friday - Apr 10 10:45 AM CDT - WESTWOOD
OSGi is the dynamic module system for the Java platform. Today, OSGi is a major part of most application platforms, tools, and is supported by many major frameworks. In this session, we'll explore the fundamental underpinnings of OSGi, explore the OSGi ecosystem, clearly articulate the benefits of OSGi, and examine OSGi in the context of other microservice architectures.
After a gentle introduction to OSGi, we'll explore how OSGi allows us to overcome classpath hell and design very adaptable and flexible software systems. Through several coding examples, we'll explore numerous OSGi techniques, including versioning, hot deployment, isolation, lifecycle, and OSGi specific microservices.
