Re: [jbpm-dev] Proposal for jBPM5 first release

Hi, See the inline response.... Il 27/05/2010 10:51, Xu Hui Sheng ha scritto: Yeah, i know.... it's exactly what i'm doing now... but i'm not exposing the original jbpm services, because some objects used in jbpm signature API are directly bound to hibernate so they could be not fully initialized (CGLib proxied and so on ) so exposing a similar interface as OSGi could result in unexpected results... This is the reason why at the moment i'm exposing ( not directly JBPM API ) but a mine custom API as OSGi services. So improving jbpm code to be not so coupled with hibernate could help a lot towards an OSGi integration Yes it's. EclipseLink is at the moment well integrated within OSGi. BTW don't know if you know but in the OSGi Enterprise Specification, there's a formal specification that address the integration between JPA and OSGi, and explain how to do that... Probably this is an Hibernate related question but i don't really know if Hibernate Team has in it's plan... to implement this, or to work this Yes... the problems within OSGi are not only related to hibernate, but to jbpm too... Classloadin issue are present also when you get custom handlers within an OSGi environent. As i said before also for this, i managed this problem keeping jbpm, hibernate ( their dependencies ) and the custom handlers incapsulated in a whole bundle... I'm not sure what do you mean when you're proposing to provide "jbpm as system packages" but i would really prefer to have a roadmap from hibernate and jbpm team to get two of my favourite frameworks to work with OSGi.
