Remote OSGi Declarative Services

There is a very cool new tutorial by Bryan Hunt for using ECF‘s implementation of the OSGi Distributed OSGi spec (RFC 119) and OSGi Declarative Services (DS) together to do remote declarative services. In addition to demonstrating the power of combining DS with ECF 3.0′s support for distributed OSGi services, the tutorial has two other very [...]

We’ve added to our distributed OSGi documentation (with examples+source) for ECF 3.0/Galileo: Distributed OSGi Services with ECF Getting Started with ECF’s RFC119 Implementation Getting Started Using the ECF Remote Services API We have API layering so service programmers can choose the simplest appropriate mechanism for their system requirements, while still providing access to ‘lower-level’ concerns [...]

Distributed OSGi EventAdmin Service

Distributedeventadmin

For those interested, there’s a new Distributed OSGi EventAdmin Service remote services example now available. What does this mean? Well, you can now create distributed implementations of OSGi services using JMS or other messaging frameworks for distributing messages to other OSGi frameworks. This is all possible because of ECF’s provider architecture that allows the creation [...]

Those Leaky Networks

In previous blog posts I’ve blogged about ECF’s upcoming implementation of RFC 119. In this post, I would like to jump out of the description of RFC 119 and talk about how the implementation of RFC 119 and ECF remote services fit together…as our implementation of RFC119 is layered on top of the ECF remote [...]

ECF and RFC119 – D’oh-SGi

There’s a bug open for ECF to figure out a better/real name for it’s implementation of RFC 119.  Soon, we’re going to have an online vote to decide the winning name…but I wanted to say that my favorite (given my frequent harping about reliability/failure detection in distributed systems) is comment #7. ..even though I don’t [...]

ECF and RFC 119 – A rose by any other name…

ECF is finishing up it’s implementation of RFC 119 (distributed OSGi) for release with Galileo (aka ECF 3.0). Over beers at EclipseCon, Ian Skerrett suggested to me that we needed a name for this work…something other than ‘ECF RFC 119 Implementation’ . So, we’ve opened a bug to identify a name for ECF’s distributed OSGi [...]

RFC 119 and ECF – part 3

I’ve blogged previously about what we (ECF) are doing WRT to RFC 119 (Distributed OSGi Services):  RFC 119 and ECF – part 2 The news for today…I’m rather excited to report…is that we now have a working implementation of RFC 119, with support for both discovery and distribution parts of the specification.  This will be [...]

RFC 119 and ECF – part 2

Some time ago, I blogged about RFC 119 and ECF part 1, so now it’s time for part 2… ECF now has a set of plugins that serve as a bridge between the RFC 119 spec (see part 1) and ECF’s discovery and remote services API (note:  all the following plugins begin with ‘org.eclipse.ecf’ and [...]
