Embedded GlassFish does support OSGi; what's mentioned in [1] is that
the all-in-one-jar version of embedded glassfish distribution is not

GF in OSGi runtime is much much simpler and is documented in [3] as well.

Please look at [3] and you shall find plenty of materials that talks
about use of OSGi services from your web apps.
