OSGi Applications support includes sample applications that demonstrate how to write and package bundles into an enterprise bundle archive (EBA) file.
The samples are provided in the OSGi_blogSample.zip and OSGi_blabberSample.zip compressed archive files, which can be downloaded from the Samples download page. The EBA file for each sample application is in the installableApps directory of the sample compressed file, and the source code is provided in other subdirectories of the sample compressed file.
For information about how to install and run each sample application, see the sample_osgi_blog_readme and sample_osgi_blabber_readme respectively. These files are available in the root directory of the associated sample compressed file. They are also available in the information center as topics OSGi blog sample application and OSGi blabber sample application.
The blog sample application is a traditional blogging application, used for publishing essay-length articles and allowing readers to comment on them. The application contains the following bundles:
This bundle contains JPA-related code, and the interfaces that enable the main application code to update and query blog entries.
This bundle contains the main application logic code and interacts between the web front end and the back end persistence code layer.
This bundle contains the static web content and backing Java code for the web front end of the application.
This bundle contains the API for the sample.
This bundle contains an optional upgraded persistence bundle that also supplies a comment service.
To run the blog sample application, you can use all the bundles that are listed, or all the bundles except the upgraded persistence bundle (the last in the list).
For more information, see OSGi blog sample application.
The blabber sample application is a microblogging application, used to enable many different people to share brief comments. The application contains the following bundles:
This bundle contains code that relates to the Java Persistence API (JPA) layer and the interface for the main application code.
This bundle contains the main application code and the code for the web front end of the application.
For more information, see OSGi blabber sample application.
