7. OSGi – Dynamic Module System for Java
 Defines a way to create true modules and a way for those
modules to interact at runtime
 Modules (Bundles) in OSGi can be installed, updated and
uninstalled without restarting the JVM
 WSO2 Carbon is the first and only OSGi-based
comprehensive middleware platform
7

8. WSO2 Carbon
 Not just OSGi for componentizing a single product, but rather
entire middleware platform
 Even admin console is an OSGi powered framework – every
server component offers an admin UI component that fits into
the console
 Our “products” are now simply our choice about how you start
with this platform
 You can assemble your own product by downloading the Carbon core
and adding only the components you want
 Features of any product can be added to any other product
 Powered by P2 OSGi provisioning system
 e.g., add service hosting to ESB, mediation to BPS

"The value of the WSO2 Carbon platform, is
that it taps into the growing developer
frustration with bloatware. A modular
framework allows my team to configure the
runtime with only the components I want for
the application I'm building. If I need a
hammer, I configure a hammer; if I need a
sledgehammer, I configure a sledgehammer.”
- Jeffrey S. Hammond, Senior Analyst,
Forrester
