Lately, I’ve been experimenting more with OSGi, and I want to share some of the examples I’ve put together. The examples involve Felix, Spring Dynamic Modules, and Jetty, though could easily be used with Equinox. Once I’m finished with these exercises, I’m hoping to compare and contrast the different approaches I’ve taken, as well as comparing embedded Jetty with the Equinox Servlet Bridge. I’m a believer that OSGi is a disruptive technology that stands to transform Java development as we know it today.

Isn't OSGi just a re-branding of (failed) SOA?

Not necessarily. As they say in the OSGi alliance website: "OSGi is Universal Middleware". There are other issues covered in OSGi like modularization (Sun now tries to do that in JSR 277 which copies a lot of stuff from OSGi), dynamic life cycle ("real" hot deployment), etc.

Who says SOA has failed? Please state your facts before making baseless claims. Some folks pull our baseless claims from thin air. In a way, parts of OSGi can be thought of as an SOA implementation
