OSGi in Depth

OSGi is an emerging Java-based technology for developing modular enterprise applications that can grow and change easily without stopping them entirely. OSGi in Depth picks up where OSGi in Action leaves off, covering important enterprise OSGi services, such as management, configuration, event handling, and software component models. Along the way, the reader learns software engineering best practices that result in systems with flexibility, extensibility, and maintainability. This book also describes how a developer can custom-tailor the OSGi platform, which is in itself modular, by picking and choosing the appropriate services to create domain- specific application frameworks.
