Polyglot OSGi

(0 Ratings)

One of the greatest benefits of OSGi is its firewall-esque encapsulation of implementation details. The only traffic that gets in or out is the traffic that you explicitly specify; otherwise, all bets are off. The aspiring polyglot can bring in the right tool for the right job by hiding it behind OSGi services as an “implementation detail,” provided that only Java language types are exported. 

This talk will:

- give a brief introduction to OSGi and polyglot programming
- explore the pros and cons of the polyglot OSGi approach
- experiment with Groovy, Clojure, and Scala in an OSGi container
- look at some of the “gotchas” one might encounter along the way
