Most of you should know by know that I have started a new job yesterday. So far the Development Manager has pointed me towards the following educational slide shows of IBM:
OSGi Feature Overview:

Modular and dynamic OSGi Applications Part 2: OSGi applications support in WebSphere Application Server:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ieduasst/v1r1m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.iea.was_v8/was/8.0/ProgramingModel/WASV8_OSGi_part2/player.html
OSGi is the "Open Services Gateway initiative framework" which
is a "module system and service platform for the Java programming
language that implements a complete and dynamic component model". Thank
you Wikipedia.
I am still working through these. So far I like the fact that OSGi is a way of enforcing modular architecture and deployment as well as the fact that it is a solution to the multiple versions of the same class on the CLASSPATH problem. What are your strong opinions on OSGi and/or alternatives?
