[infinispan-dev] OSGi

[Giovanni Meo]

Hi Emmanuel and infinispan folks,

we have been using Infinispan in OSGi environment in a project called
OpenDayLight, if interested you can look at:

Granted we are using a tiny part of the infinispan capabilities, but we found
very helpful to first of all define the contract the applications would have
with the infinispan. For other issues like the classloading, we just made sure
to provider a ClassResolver that always enforce the lookup in the OSGi class
loader, and in spite of some initial unreliability things has been doing ok for us.

My 2 cents,
Giovanni
