Scenario: Using an OSGi environment to develop and run eXtreme Scale plug-ins
Use these scenarios to complete common tasks in an OSGi environment. For example, the OSGi framework is ideal for starting servers and clients in an OSGi container, which allows you to dynamically add and update WebSphere® eXtreme Scale plug-ins to the runtime environment.
Before you begin
About this task
The following scenarios are about building and running dynamic plug-ins, which allows you to dynamically install, start, stop, modify, and uninstall plug-ins. You might also complete another likely scenario, which allows you to use the OSGi framework without dynamic capabilities. You can still package your applications as bundles, which are defined by and communicated through services. These service-based bundles offer multiple benefits, which include more efficient development and deployment capabilities.
Scenario goals
- Build eXtreme Scale dynamic plug-ins to use in an OSGi environment.
- Run eXtreme Scale containers in an OSGi environment without dynamic capabilities.
