In March 2010 the OSGi Alliance released the first version of the Enterprise OSGi specification. This defines standard approaches and adaption layers for working with existing Java Enterprise technologies, in ways that are natural and easy for OSGi developers and administrators. It also defines new OSGi specifications for administering Remote Services providers, deploying traditionally packaged web applications (i.e., WAR files) to OSGi frameworks, and for assembling distributed applications with SCA.

In this talk, Neil will discuss the newly released specification and how it makes life easier both for current OSGi developers and for JEE developers considering supporting or moving towards OSGi. No prior knowledge of OSGi is assumed.

Apache Aries is an umbrella project containing implementations of the standards specified in the Enterprise OSGi specification, including several of the Reference Implementations for those specifications. It also includes a lightweight and clean implementation of Blueprint, a standard derived from the Spring Dynamic Modules project. Aries is backed by IBM and SAP, along with committers from smaller companies and independents.

In this talk Zoë will discuss the components implemented in Apache Aries and show how they can be used to easily assemble enterprise applications.
