The session will look into some of the problems of the Java language today followed by how they are solved by OSGi. During the ppt. presentation, a live demo will be included to show how a user can deploy OSGi bundles into an OSGi framework and how a developer can manage the bundle in the OSGi environment. We will look at enterprise OSGi and briefly look at Apache Aries, a newly graduated project in Apache which provides an enterprise OSGi platform.
