apache-felix

I am pretty new to the whole Java and OSGi world and I have trouble understanding the eco system of a OSGi web application. To be more precise I am at the moment trying to understand how all the parts of the eco system are related to each other: OSGi Framework (e.g. Apache Felix, Equinox, Knoplerfish) OSGi Runtime (e.g. Spring DM Server, Pax Runner, Apache Karaf) Web Extender (e.g. Pax Web Extender, Spring Web Extender) Web Container (e.g. Apache Tomcat, Jetty) To give you a visual representation of my actual understanding of their relationship check out this image: As far as I know the OSGi

I'm working on example with JavaFX 2.2 and Java 8. I created this simple Apache Felix Activator: Activator: import javafx.application.Platform; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.control.Label; import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane; import javafx.stage.Stage; import org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator; import org.osgi.framework.BundleContext; public class Activator implements BundleActivator { Stage stage; @Override public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception { Platform.runLater(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { stage = new Stage(); BorderPane pane = new

I can't find information about starting and using Apache Felix from code. I want do things which I am able (or unable ;) ) to do with Apache Felix's Shell. For example, how do I start a module? Please help. So, after trying around a lot of time, here's a possible solution . We will have two projects: OsgiModuleA , which contains a module-to-be-started OsgiUsage , which will use the "Module A" Project OsgiModuleA File module/a/Activator.java package module.a; import org.osgi.framework.*; public class Activator implements BundleActivator, ServiceListener { @Override public void start
