See all formats and editions

Java EE developers increasingly want to utilize OSGi to develop modular applications for component and service-based architectures. But tools required for OSGi implementation have been slow to develop. Spring Dynamic Modules (Spring DM) is a framework that simplifies the creation of component and service-oriented architectures with OSGi, to build modular Java applications using the powerful Spring framework.

Spring Dynamic Modules in Action presents the fundamental concepts of OSGi-basedapps and maps them to the familiar ideas of the Spring framework. Then, it teaches the techniques and concepts required to develop stable, flexible enterprise apps. Along the way, readers will learn to incorporate other topics including dependency injection and unit testing in an OSGi-based environment.

Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

There are very few books on Spring DM but they are all terrible as the authors of the other books simply did not understand the topic or failed to properly introduce Spring DM. This anomaly does not affect this book.
It starts with the introduction to OSGi and throughout the introduction it gently inserts Spring DM concepts and terminology. Once OSGi is properly introduced the book moves on to Spring DM. It takes the Spring DM novice through the initial steps through Spring DM and then slowly takes each topic of Spring DM in-depth. From the simplest Spring DM <osgi:bean > to the more advanced dynamics. From simple beans to ranked beans to multiple interface beans, nothing is left to chance in this book. Advanced topics such as fragment based configuration, extending the standard extender to task executors for destroying application contexts; they are all covered in great detail worthy of academics and coders alike. The code is very useful too; though I did not care for the code as I often form my own formulations; but for the sake of reviewing this book, I can say that the code is worthy of copy/paste should you wish to compile and run it.
If you care for bonuses, then you're in luck, the book takes real life examples moves them to OSGi; the Restlet is worth a look. Then as if there were not enough details in this book the OSGi-fication process is explained for those who care to take normal jars and make them available for the OSGi server.
Oh, just one more thing. The book is not brainlessly focused just on Eclipse Equinox; it focuses on Felix too.
This book is an asset to any serious Spring-DM developer.
Many thanks to the authors for producing a book of such high caliber.

Spring Dynamic Modules in Action

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2011

The Spring Dynamic Modules project has excellent documentation; if you have a good understanding of both OSGi and Spring, then you probably won't get much from this book that you couldn't get from the documentation, as far as Spring DM is concerned.

That said, this book does a great job walking you through the basics of OSGi and Spring, setting up an OSGi environment (Equinox), and building a typical web application (several popular web frameworks are discussed) with database access (plain or with an object-relation mapping tool).

Considerable attention is given to showing how to create OSGi bundles for existing libraries and dealing with complicated cases (e.g. Hibernate); that alone could make the book worthwhile, even to someone who doesn't intend to use Spring.

Thanks to the fact that the Spring Dynamic Modules project was "transferred" to the Eclipse Software Foundation in 2009 but hasn't seen any updates since (neither at SpringSource nor at Eclipse), this book is still pretty much up to date...

The definitive guide to Spring DM

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2010

My feelings for this book can be summed up with a single strong statement: This book is going to be the definitive book on Spring DM, period. Users of Spring DM need to rush out and buy a copy, for this book is a reference that will save countless hours and loads of headaches. The authors (there are 3) have clearly travelled many miles with Spring DM, and their experience is laid out plainly for you to purchase for the measly price of a book. My only caveat: be sure Spring DM is the right tool for the problem you want to solve, for there is some work ahead of you. If you are certain it's the right technology, then this is without question the book you need.

Roughly, here's what you can expect from the book:
- An introduction to OSGi and an explanation of its purpose
- Explanation of how Spring can be used within an OSGi container, review of the currently available containers
- Details about how Spring DM works, and the parts you need to understand
- Details about OSGi services, and how they relate to Spring DM
- In depth best practices for data access, enterprise Java projects, and web applications (includes specific advice for popular web application frameworks)
- Testing practices
- Extended uses of OSGi, including likely future direction

If you are a Spring DM user, this is the book for you.

Good book with lucid explanations

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2011

It's a great book to understand how we can design anything(I mean anything) using Spring and OSGi together. I loved the way this book is organized and takes the step by step approach to explain the way we can use these simple yet powerful technologies. Go ahead and read it.
