Comment on Installation iAtKOS 7 on Gigabyte EX58-UD4P by Nate

You are brilliant! This got me working on a EX58 UD4P when nothing else would. I followed everything but I had to add the Vodoo PS2 drivers else VMware wouldn’t let me control it with the mouse and keyboard. Thank you much!

Thanks for your comment,

Maybe I was not clear enough in my article. Indeed, Spring DM Server is fully OSGi compliant (equinox kernel) and therefore, it allows to deploy manually every bundle. My points was not really against Spring DM Server, the lack of a deployment standard on OSGI for multiple bundle distribution is lacking and being tight to any container is something I tend to avoid. Anyway, I heard of plans, I will try this soon. Great project, great product, great work.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up.

I wanted to clear up one point. PAR files are just an option for dm Server. You can still deploy individual bundles directly to the server. PAR files are mainly used when you want to get isolation for your applications. In the 2.0 version we have introduced the notion of plan files that allow the same benefits as PAR files whilst allowing bundles to be packaged separately.

We looked at the start level service for a long time and we didn’t really like the model that it suggests. We prefer to rely on service dependencies to handle module interdependencies rather than strict timing blocks.

Thanks again!

You may also be interested in the Paremus Service Fabric that provides a model-driven, distributed OSGi runtime. With support for SpringDM, standard Spring POJO’s, Guice & WARs, the Service Fabric allows you to easily add scale and resilience to your applications.

The model-driven aspect allows you to describe your components (and wiring of them together) in a document and then automate the deployment and on-going maintainence (self-healing resilience, update, removal, etc) of these within the runtime.

You can find out more and get an evaluation version at http://www.paremus.com.

Yes, the NetBeans community is aware of the existence of OSGi . I hope to be able to publish a first version of my NetBeans OSGi Tools ( http://eppleton.sharedhost.de/blog/?p=893 ) by the end of September. Unfortunately Eclipse doesn’t seem to fully conform to the 4.2 Spec yet (launch API doesn’t work in embedded mode). I would love to run Eclipse inside NetBeans. I mean… just for fun!

Thanks for linking to my blog!
