Glassfish as an OSGi Container

deployment, glassfish, java, osgi

Solution

GlassFish is IMO a serious candidate and I would definitely look at it. Some resources:

- GlassFish/OSGi Dashboard

- GlassFish and OSGi (and Sahoo) at EclipseCon 2010

- GlassFish v3, OSGi Equinox Felix by Jerome Dochez and Ludovic Champenois

Problem

I'm evaluating OSGi containers and the subject came up of using Glassfish to contain my OSGi application components. My question is: Is Glassfish good for this? Does anybody have any experience using it in this way? Background: - The application is not a Java EE application, it's a Spring application. - I've been evaluating Felix + Tomcat. - I've never used Glassfish but it has some features that our operations people are interested in. Thanks!
