Getting started with OSGi

using a 3D OSGi Robot sample application

What is an OSGi Code Camp?

Experience from the first Camp

#1 Agile Design

• Components

• Interaction

• “Post-it”-Design

#2 Pair Programming

• Pair programming

• OSGi beginners/

experts


#3 Communication

• Ad-hoc design of

component interaction

• Interfaces agreed

between pairs

• All developers in 1 room!

• Loud!


#4 Test Driven Development

• Focus on OSGi concepts

• Too much time for

infrastructure setup

• No time for testing!


#5 Continuous Delivery

• Build server

available

• No one did care

• Late integration


Summary and Lessons Learned

from the first Camp

We need…

• Development VM

• Cool application

• List of OSGi

concepts to be

implemented


Live Demo Mars Robot

How to teach OSGi by Example


Bundle Context API

and Lifecycle

• Simple provisioning


Separate Interface (Service API)

and Implementation Bundle

• Mars robot API and world implementation bundle


Whiteboard Pattern

• Simulator desktop bundle adding internal frames


Extender Pattern

and Bundle Tracker

• Adding static objects to mars world


Configuration Admin and

Metatype Service

• Creating wall and robot instances


Event Admin Service

• Integration sensor data view and world (event bus)


Extending the OSGi Console

(OSGi RFC 147 Draft)

• Robot commands to move and rotate the robot

• Shows how to use OSGi service properties


OSGi Concepts

Should be added during the next camp

• Simulator by using the Event Admin Service

• Robot web control console with the HTTP Service

• WAR bundles (RFC66) to build a web console

• Remote robot console using OSGi Remote Services

• Service handling e.g. adding other object types to the world (balls) • with Service Tracker

• using Blueprint components

• Offer sensor and robot data by using Monitor Admin Service

• Add logging with the Log Service

• Preferences Service to persist some user settings (e.g. world size)


Conclusion

• Mars Robot is a cool application

• OSGi concepts can be demonstrated very easily

• Robot domain nice for running OSGi example

• Extensible in various areas

Mars robot as a “PetStore” for OSGi applications?
