Comments on: Groovy & Grails on OSGi http://blog.jetztgrad.net Programming was my first love, and it will be my last.

The problem is, that these dependencies are currently more or less hard coded. You might be able to get it to run by tweaking <a href="https://github.com/jetztgradnet/grails-osgi-plugin/blob/master/scripts/_Osgi.groovy" title="scripts/_Osgi.groovy" rel="nofollow">scripts/_Osgi.groovy</a> and <a href="https://github.com/jetztgradnet/grails-osgi-plugin/blob/master/scripts/_Events.groovy" title="scripts/_Events.groovy" rel="nofollow">scripts/_Events.groovy</a>, where all the replacement bundles and dependencies are defined. You can find the complete source code of the OSGi plugin <a href="https://github.com/jetztgradnet/grails-osgi-plugin/" title="Source code of the Grails OSGi plugin" rel="nofollow">here</a>. When running it in Virgo, you should remove all tomcat bundles referenced in the scripts mentioned above, as Tomcat is provided in the Virgo Web and Virgo Nano Web installations. HTH, Wolfgang Hi Jon,

I'm working with a Grails 1.3.7 app at the moment (Haven't moved to 2.0 yet). I'm trying to get the app running as a OSGi bundle. I'm new to OSGi and have been fighting with it for a week now. I've been bundling a default grails app with only the OSGi plugin installed and have been getting a lot of dependency errors on startup in both virgo 2.1.1 and 3.0.2. The use case is a web platform that can be built upon by adding many separate web applications. I believe that OSGi is the answer to our problems but can't seem to get it figured out. @Wolfgang Schell Thanks for the reply.

Do you have interest in the plugin? Or do you use it already with an older Grails version? What is your environment and use case? I still want to update the plugin to Grails 2.0, but didn't get around to it yet. Cheers, Wolfgang Hi Jon,
