Title
OSGi R4 Service Platform: Java Modularity and Beyond
Abstract
As application complexity increases, the need to mitigate it also grows.
One approach for dealing with such complexity is employing the
principles of modularity to application code. Unfortunately, the Java
platform does not provide explicit support for modularity. The OSGi
Service Platform remedies this situation by defining a general module
layer for Java. Additionally, the OSGi Service Platform defines a
service-oriented model for creating applications. This talk provides an
overview of these aspects of the OSGi Service Platform.
