Modular Java: Declarative OSGi with Spring Dynamic Modules

OSGi is a great framework for realizing true modularity in your
Java applications. Unfortunately, however, working with OSGi
services requires coding directly to the OSGi API and getting
to know some new patterns for dealing with service availability.

If having to work with the OSGi API makes you feel uneasy, then
have a look at Spring Dynamic Modules (aka, Spring-DM). Spring-DM
brings a declarative service model to OSGi, relieving you from
programatically servicing and consuming services. What's more,
because Spring-DM is based on the popular Spring Framework, it
brings all of the power of Spring to OSGi development.

Building upon the OSGi basics learned in the first part of the
OSGi trilogy, this session will introduce you to Spring-DM.
You'll learn how easy it can be to work with OSGi services. And
we'll also see how Spring-DM makes building modular OSGi-based
web applications a reality.
