DBWS in an OSGi Environment

An Eclipselink DBWS service can be run in an OSGi environment using Javase 6's 'containerless' javax.xml.ws.Endpoint API.

Environment Setup

Download a version of the Eclipse IDE that includes the Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) (Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers, Eclipse Classic 3.6.0 or
Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers). Install an OSGi-friendly JDBC driver - use Derby bundle:

  • Download Apache Derby (org.apache.derby) bundle from Orbit.

  • Place the org.apache.derby bundle into your $ECLIPSE_HOME/dropins folder.
  • Install the EclipseLink and Jetty target Components:

Accept the license and proceed through the prompts for re-starting Eclipse ...
{NB - later, a set of updated EclipseLink bundles will be required}
Under 'Preferences' -> 'Plug-in Development' -> 'Target Platform', reload the Running Platform (Active) EclipseLink DBWS with OSGi Target Platform.png

Create a new Plug-in project

From the 'Plug-in Development' Perspective, create a new Plug-in project SimpleTable:
{Note the choice of 'standard' for OSGi framework}
