4. Topics to cover ● Introduction ● Programming Model  Fundamentals  Collaboration ● Eclipse Equinox ● Market Interests

5. What is OSGi? ● A specification of a component based service oriented platform ● A Java Framework for developing Service Applications that requires:  Reliability  Large scale distribution  Wide range of devices  Collaborative development ● Created by collaboration of industry leaders (OSGi Alliance).

6. Industry Driven ● Home automation vendors (2000 - 2002) ● Automotive Infotainment and Telematics vendors (2002 - 2004) ● Mobile device vendors (2004 - now) ● Many other vertical markets (now)

8. Ever wonder... Eclipse IDE Quantum Plugin Mylar Plugin Commons Collections 2.1.1 Commons Collections 3.2 ?

9. Original Motivations ● Binary software portability  Low reusability of software components ● Software engineering is HARD  Software is complex  Collaboration helps ● Deployment is error prone  Deployment scripts are often too complicated and unreliable  Too much drama!!!

12. Bundle

13. DictionaryService.jar (Bundle) src META-INF lib *.class *.dll, *.so, etc... *.jar MANIFEST.MF *.java

14. Bundles ● Packaging of Java library/service/application for deployment ( a jar file ) ● Registers zero or more services ● Services (Java interfaces) may be implemented by multiple bundles ● Search for services registered via a (LDAP-based query language. ● Fragment bundles are like attachments to a bundle-host. ● Manifest contains important information about its bundle.

17. Registering a Service package ca.intelliware.osgi.bundle.dictionary; import org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator; import org.osgi.framework.BundleContext; import org.osgi.framework.ServiceRegistration;... import ca.intelliware.osgi.bundle.dictionary.service.DictionaryService; public class Activator implements BundleActivator { public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception { Properties properties = new Properties(); properties.put("Language", "English"); ServiceRegistration registration = context.registerService(DictionaryService.class.getName(), new DictionaryServiceImpl(), properties); } public void stop(BundleContext context) throws Exception { }

18. Locating and using a Service public class ClientActivator implements BundleActivator { public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception { ServiceReference[] serviceReferences = context.getServiceReferences(DictionaryService.class.getName(), "(Language=*)");... ServiceReference firstServiceReference = serviceReferences[0]; DictionaryService service = (DictionaryService)context.getService(firstServiceReference); if (service.checkWord(word)) { System.out.println(word + " was correct."); } else { System.out.println(word + " was incorrect."); } context.ungetService(firstServiceReference); }...

19. Listening to ServiceEvent public class ServiceListenerActivator implements BundleActivator, ServiceListener { public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception { context.addServiceListener(this); } public void stop(BundleContext context) throws Exception { context.removeServiceListener(this); } public void serviceChanged(ServiceEvent event) { int eventType = event.getType(); String serviceName = ((String[])event.getServiceReference().getProperty("objectClass"))[0]; switch (eventType) { case ServiceEvent.MODIFIED: System.out.println("service: " + serviceName + "has been modified."); case ServiceEvent.REGISTERED: System.out.println("service: " + serviceName + "has been registered."); case ServiceEvent.UNREGISTERING: System.out.println("service: " + serviceName + "has been unregistered."); default: break; }

20. Service Layer ● SOA Service Oriented Architecture Clarification:  OSGi Services != Web Services  OSGi Services are in-VM services ● Service Model  Services are POJO's in a bundle  Its interface is exported and registered in a Service Registry.  Discover and gets notified about services based on their interfaces and properties  Different bundles can register different implementations of the same interface. ● The OSGi Alliance provides many standardized services  Device Manager, Declarative Services, Event Admin, HTTP Service, Log Service, Metatype Service, Preferences Service, User Admin, Wire Admin, etc... Life- cycle Servic e Executi on module

22. Life Cycle Layer ● Controlled by the System Bundle ● Provides an API for managing bundles  Install  Resolve  Start  Stop  Refresh  Update  Uninstall Module Life- cycle Servic e Executi on

23. Life of a Bundle Installed Uninstalled Resolved Stopping Starting Active Bu ndl e ● Bundle started by an object of BundleActivator Type ● Manifest Header refer to this class ● BundleActivator Interface has 2 methods: start() and stop() ● BundleActivator gets a BundleContext provides access to the framework ● Framework provides Start Level Service to control start/stop of groups of applications

25. Class loading OSGi Style Delegation Model Bundle ClassLoader Bundle ClassLoader Bundle ClassLoader Bundle ClassLoader Parent System ClassLoader System Bundle ClassLoader importerExporter Bundle Space Boot Classpath (java.lang.*) Framework Classpath

26. Module Layer ● Applications and libraries are packaged in bundles (jar file) ● A classloader is assigned to each bundle for loading its classes and resources. ● Modularized Classloading  Traditional Single Parent Delegation Classloading model is inflexible ● Versioning  Raw Java cannot handle multiple versions of the same package Life cycle Module Servic e Executi on

29. Programming Model

30. Object Oriented Model ● One of the challenges is managing dependencies, if we are not careful our objects can get quite tangled.

31. Object Oriented Model ● Coupling severely limits reuse.  Using a generic object can drag in a large number of other objects. ● Flexibility must be built by programmer  Plugin architectures

32. Service Oriented Architecture ● Separation of interface and implementation ● Allows swapping in alternative implementation ● Dynamically discover and bind object implementations ● Components are not coupled with implementation Client Component Implementation Component Service Contract...

33. Framework ● Allows applications to share a single JVM ● Dynamic classloading  Dependencies are “wired” at runtime  Compares to static classpaths ● Declarative Security  Java Security Model ● Declarative bundle dependency  Coordinated via manifest headers ● Independent life-cycle management of applications and services on a single JVM instance.

34. Framework and Bundles ● The framework at bundle installation time:  Security check the bundle  Reads the bundle's manifest  Installs code and resources  Resolve dependencies ● The framework at bundle runtime:  Calls the bundle's Activator to start the bundle  Manages classpath  Handles service dependencies  Calls the bundle's Activator to stop the bundle

38. Component Interaction ● Bundles collaborate through:  Service objects  Package sharing ● Bundle Registry allows bundles to find and track service objects ● Framework manages the collaboration

39. Dependencies ● OSGi framework is a network of class loaders (one class loader per bundle). ● Complicated dependencies are “resolved” by the framework behind the scene.
