OSGi Applications Feature Pack
Modularization in Java – Problems with Jars
Package
No “jar scoped” access modifiers
No means for a jar to declare its dependencies
No versioning
Across apps - each archive typically contains all the
libraries required by the application
– Common libraries/frameworks get installed
with each application
– Multiple copies of libraries in memory

Class Loading
– Each bundle has its own loader.
– No flat or monolithic classpath.
– Class sharing and visibility decided by

OSGi Enterprise Specification
Apache “Aries” created as a new Apache
incubator project in Sep 2009:
– to provide enterprise OSGi spec implementations
http://incubator.apache.org/aries/
Aries componentry supporting an enterprise OSGi programming model are being integrated
into both Geronimo and WAS
Application-level exploitation is introduced in the WebSphere Application Server V7

New: Bundle Repository Config in WAS

Blueprint Components and Services
dependencies injected
consumes
service
publishes
service
A static assembly and
configuration of
components (POJOs)
OSGI-INF/blueprint/
blueprint.xml
Blueprint bundle
Specifies a Dependency Injection container, standardizing established Spring conventions
Configuration and dependencies declared in XML “module blueprint”, which is a standardization of
Spring “application context” XML.
– Extended for OSGi: publishes and consumes components as OSGi services
Simplifies unit test outside either Java EE or OSGi r/t.
The Blueprint DI container is a part of the server runtime (compared to the Spring container
which is part of the application.)
19
© 2010 IBM Corporation
OSGi Service Registry and JNDI
OSGi services are published to and looked up from OSGi service registry.
– From declarations in Blueprint XML
Simplify integrating with existing JEE components:
– OSGi Services registered in the OSGi Service Registry are also available in JNDI via the
osgi:service URL scheme
– Administered resources bound to JNDI are also published as services in the OSGi Service
Registry. The JNDI name is published as a service property called “osgi.jndi.service.name”
20
© 2010 IBM Corporation
New: “Enterprise Bundle Archive” (EBA)
– An isolated, cohesive application consisting of a collection of bundles, is deployed as a
logical unit in a “.eba” archive
• An “OSGi Application”.
– Constituent bundles may be contained or referenced from a bundle repository.
– Services provided by the application are isolated to the application unless explicitly
exposed through EBA-level application manifest
– Config by exception - absence of APPLICATION.MF means:
• application content is the set of bundles contained by-value plus any repository-hosted
dependencies identified during deployment.

Developer Feedback
Developers are looking for more (or less) from the test server runtime in the tools.
– Greater test simplicity
• Config model (hard to edit, backup, share)
• Admin console is for operational mgmt rather than development
• Problem determination (including within customer apps)
– Responsiveness
• Primarily incremental publishing, app install, server startup time
– Footprint
• WAS server types defined to RAD have a WAS production server footprint and memory use.
For all types of application

Frequency of Development Tasks
Common development tasks include:
fastest
Hourly
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
• Modify file within an application
• Debug a problem in an application
• Restart/redeploy application
• Restart server
• Share code with team
• Change app structure (add/remove a module/bundle)
• Make config change
• Share config change with team
• Reproduce problem from another environment
• Upgrade to new service release
• Create application
• Install server
Frequency
faster
fast
Time to complete
All tasks should be as painless as possible, with special emphasis on the more frequent ones. If the time taken to
accomplish these tasks is an impediment to the development, the cost of the fidelity of the test server runtime is
challenged.

Oct Fall Launch: WAS V8.5 Alpha - Introducing WAS “Liberty” Profile
Not a single static profile: rather a dynamic, flexible profile of the runtime to load only what the
application needs
– Memory footprint (web feature): < 50 MB
– Profile is dynamic - switch parts of the server on & off w/out restart
Extremely lightweight
– Incredibly fast (re)start times: <5 seconds
Fidelity with full-profile WAS
– Same containers, QoS as full-profile WAS
– But radically refactored to focus on the development experience
Initially focused on dev/test of web, mobile and OSGi apps.
Simplified configuration for quick time to productivity; one single config file or modular config (as
desired)
– Easy to share / diff / manage in version control
Tools available as Eclipse features as well as in RAD…

---------------------------- (more to come) ------------------- Beta 1 (target Dec 2011)
Beta 2 (target Mar 2012)
42
© 2010 IBM Corporation
Summary: Flexible, Lightweight Profile
An extremely lightweight WAS profile for web apps
– Incredibly fast (re)start times: <5 seconds
Flexible configuration to load only what the application needs
– Memory footprint (web feature): < 50 MB
Simplified configuration for quick time to productivity; single config file across dev
environments (if desired)
Free & frictionless download for development: including ZIP developer install from WAS
for Dev download site
Ability to build web apps with standard Eclipse Tools: Eclipse plugin included for broad
tooling support
Fidelity with full profile WAS server
Flexibility of development platforms and JDKs
Simplified configuration will ease migration

Performance - Disclaimer
Based on measurements and projections using standard IBM
benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput
that any user will experience will vary depending upon
considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the
user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage
configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no
assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve
throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios
stated here.
