| # Apache Aries |
| |
| The Aries project consists of a set of pluggable Java components enabling |
| an enterprise OSGi application programming model. This includes |
| implementations (and extensions) of the following Enterprise OSGi specifications: |
| |
| - [**Asynchronous Services**](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/service.async.html) and [**Promises Specification**](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/util.promise.html) |
| - [**Blueprint Specification**](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.blueprint.html) |
| - [**CDI Integration Specification**](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/service.cdi.html) |
| - [**JAX-RS Whiteboard Specification**](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/service.jaxrs.html) |
| - [**JMX Management Model Specification**](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/service.jmx.html) |
| - [**JNDI Services Specification**](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/service.jndi.html) |
| - [**JPA Service Specification**](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/service.jpa.html) |
| - [**JTA Transaction Services Specification**](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/service.jta.html) |
| - [**Push Stream Specification**](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/util.pushstream.html) |
| - [**Remote Service Admin Service Specification**](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/service.remoteserviceadmin.html) |
| - [**Service Loader Mediator Specification**](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/service.loader.html) |
| - [**Subsystem Service Specification**](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/service.subsystem.html) |
| - [**Transaction Control Service Specification**](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/service.transaction.control.html) |
| |
| The specifications are defined in the OSGi Alliance Enterprise Expert Group (EEG) for deployment to a variety of OSGi |
| based runtimes. The OSGi R7 Enterprise Specification can be found here: |
| |
| [OSGi Enterprise Release 7](https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.enterprise/7.0.0/) |
| |
| ### Additional projects |
| |
| Additionally, Apache Aries provides the following projects: |
| |
| - **Component DSL** - an embedable, micro, functional-style component DSL for working with OSGi services and configuration |
| - **Container Management** - API and implementations of the Apache Aries Container Management subcomponent |
| - **Proxy** - a library for working with object proxies in OSGi |
| - **Util** - a library containing reusable bits of functionality in OSGi |

| To understand how to _use_ Aries Blueprint components, take a look at the [BlueprintHelloWorldTutorial](documentation/tutorials/blueprinthelloworldtutorial.html) |
| pages which guides you through how to build the Aries code, provides |
| sample applications and describes how to set up an environment in which to |
| run the consuming application. |
