OSGi Framework I. (OSGI1)

Programming, Java, Spring

This course introduces Java developers to the OSGi framework, covering its core concepts and runtime behavior. You will learn the principles of modularity, how bundles interact and how services enable dynamic composition of applications.

The course assumes advanced knowledge of Java and basic multithreading, and offers hands-on practice with lifecycle, configuration and service patterns. Web topics include HTTP whiteboard and integration with Servlet APIs for real apps.

THIS TRAINING COURSE WILL HELP YOU:

  • Implement modular OSGi applications using bundles and services.
  • Manage bundle lifecycle and service dynamics at runtime.
  • Apply semantic versioning and modular classloading concepts.
  • Use Declarative Services, Blueprint and tracker patterns.
  • Integrate web support with HTTP whiteboard and Servlet APIs.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

  • Java developers building modular server applications.
  • Engineers familiar with Java multithreading.
  • Architects evaluating modular Java frameworks.
