| Welcome to the Apache CXF Distributed OSGi DSW Reference Implementation |
| ======================================================================= |
| |
| |
| The dOSGi subproject of Apache CXF provides the Reference Implementation |
| of the Remote Services Specification version 1.0, Chapter 13 in the OSGi |
| Compendium Specification, and OSGi Remote Service Admin Specification |
| version 1.0, Chapter 122 in the OSGi Enterprise Specification[1]. |
| |
| |
| This release is provided for your convenience in three different |
| distribution formats: |
| |
| 1. Multi-bundle distro: cxf-dosgi-ri-multibundle-distribution-1.2.{tar.gaz|zip} |
| |
| Contains the dOSGi implementation and all 3rd party dependencies as |
| separate bundles within an archive. The current distribution is an |
| instance of this type. The easiest way to get started is to explode |
| this archive into your Felix or Equinox installation tree. Then |
| append the contents of the felix.config.properties.append or |
| equinox.config.ini.append snippets found in the conf directory to |
| your felix.config.properties or equinox.config.ini. This will cause |
| all the required bundles to be loaded on start-up. The bundles required |
| for the Zookeeper-based Discovery Service implementation are also provided |
| in this distribution, and similarly may be automatically loaded by |
| appending the felix.discovery.config.properties.append or |
| equinox.discovery.config.ini.append snippets as appropriate. |
| |
| |
| 2. Single-bundle distro: cxf-dosgi-ri-singlebundle-distribution-1.2.jar |
| |
| Contains the dOSGi implementation and all 3rd party dependencies wrapped |
| in a single OSGi bundle so as to allow direct installation in your favourite |
| OSGi container in one fell swoop. |
| |
| |
| 3. Source distro: cxf-dosgi-ri-source-distribution-1.2.{tar.gz|zip} |
| |
| Contains the entire source tree for dOSGi. |
| |
| |
| The best starting point for using dOSGi is the Getting Started Guide[2]. |
| |
| Also note the very detailed walk-through of the greeter demo[3]. |
| |
| If you need more help, or want to provide any feedback, please feel free |
| to drop us a note on the CXF dev or users list[4]. |
| |
| If you trip over any problems with dOSGi, don't hesitate to submit an issue |
| to the CXF JIRA[5] with the component set to "Distributed-OSGi". |
| |
| |
| Thanks for using dOSGi! |
| |
| Regards, |
| The CXF dOSGi team. |
