Glassfish as an OSGi Container

Question

I\'m evaluating OSGi containers and the subject came up of using Glassfish to contain my OSGi application components. My question is: Is Glassfish good for this? Does anybody h

Answer 1

While Glassfish may be a good candidate for an OSGi container, it is fairly large, due to the fact that it is primarily a Java EE container. If I were writing an OSGi application, I would use Karaf/Felix as the container. Its small, OSGi specific, OSGi 4.2 compliant, in active development (bugs get fixed quickly), and has a large group of OSGi users.
