Hi Arian,

will have a look at it tonight or tomorrow.

There are some more required changes, i.e. allow regex when replacing libs in _Events.groovy (so they don’t depend on single versions). Otherwise this breaks with every new dependency or version change.
I also plan to replace parts of _Osgi.groovy with my groovyx.osgi module and replace Spring DM with Eclipse Gemini Blueprint. But this takes some more time.

Thanks Wolfgang, I’ll replace _Event.groovy right now.
I also noticed that bundle-manifest.patch doesn’t seem to work with the 1.3.6 release. I was studying the changes that still need to be made on _GrailsWar.groovy.

target “war” looks fine on grails 1.3.6, except the part related to resourceList that still needs to be changed.

target(createDescriptor:”Creates the WEB-INF/grails.xml file used to load Grails classes in WAR mode”) {
- def resourceList = pluginSettings.getArtefactResources()
+ def resourceList = GrailsResourceLoaderHolder.resourceLoader.getResources()

Hi Arian,

could you try to replace _Event.groovy from the OSGi plugin with the file found here? Simply overwrite it at you Grails plugin directory, e.g. something like ~/.grails/1.3.6/projects/osgitest/plugins/osgi-0.2.1/scripts/_Events.groovy.

Please give me feedback, if this works for you.

Regards,

Wolfgang

Hi Arian,

hang on, I’ll check with Grails 1.3.6. This is probably due to some dependencies, which are not removed from the WAR file.

It looks awesome but I can’t make it run. Does it work with grails 1.3.6?

Y, I agree. Grails inside OSGi makes a good deal of sense. I’ll try out your package as soon as possible.

Best, M.

Good stuff. Looking forward to the next installment. I do think there is a challenge there as from the little I know it seems Grails is not tailored for creation of modular apps (regardless one is using OSGi or not).
