Greetings to all!

There is a necessity to turn part of EAR (namely - war) into OSGI bundle and retain it's interoperability. Glassfish 3.0.1 already has osgi-web-container module and I succeeded to deploy standalone OSGI war.

But in case of of ex-enterprise war it looks a bit difficult to me.

  1. What do I do with EJB calls from inside future OSGI war? Is it enough to replace @EJB injections with true JNDI lookups?
  2. What about APIs and libraries shared across EAR? I could split and rearrange them, but still I will have at least one jar needed by both EAR and OSGI war. Duplicate, make it as OSGI-bundle itself and make it available to ear somehow, place it GF domain's library path?
  3. Any other ideas, advices which could make that hybrid working?

Many thanks in advance,

Osw
