Modular Web Applications with OSGi
Enterprise Java development is being revolutionised by the use of OSGi.
The improved support for building modular applications, and the ability
to dynamically add, remove, and replace functionality at runtime is
presenting fresh opportunities and challenges to developers.
In this session we will look at the current state-of-the-art for modular
Web applications with OSGi and in a series of live demonstrations, show
that truly modular Web applications are now a reality.
Attendees should have an understanding of OSGi basics and be familiar
with Java Servlets.
