Raible Designs | [TSE] Spring-OSGI with Adrian Colyer

Raible Designs | [TSE] Spring-OSGI with Adrian Colyer: "Most people don't even know what it is. OSGi stands for Open Services Gateway initiative. From the very beginning, it was designed to be lightweight and dynamic. This is the major difference between it and other containers. It's always been designed to have things added and removed. Now it's tagline is: 'The Dynamic Module System for Java'.

It's designed to allow you to partition a system into a number of modules (a.k.a. bundles). There's strict visibility rules (similar to protected and private). There's a resolution process (dependencies are satisfied) and it understands versioning. "
