The Remote Services/Remote Service Admin specifications (chaps 100 and 122 in [http://www.osgi.org/Specifications/HomePage OSGi Enterprise spec]) allows for the use of multiple distribution providers.  A separate distribution provider(s) can be defined for every exported remote service.  Such providers are responsible for the actual marshalling/serialization and network communication that takes place when a consumer invokes a remote service method.
+
New:  ECF OSGi R7 Remote Services.  The [https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.remoteservices.htmlOSGi R7 Remote Services] adds the standardization of several [https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.remoteservices.html#i1693415 intents].  One of those intents is the [osgi.async intent], which allows remote services to be invoked asynchronously (non-blocking) rather than synchronously (blocking).  Supporting async and the other standardized intents:  [https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.remoteservices.html#service.remoteservices-osgi.basic osgi.basic], [https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.remoteservices.html#d0e1474 osgi.private], [https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.remoteservices.html#d0e1464 osgi.confidential] requires a distribution provider that supports that intent.  For each distribution provider below, the currently supported intents are listed.  To request support for an unsupported intent, please post the request to the [https://accounts.eclipse.org/mailing-list/ecf-dev ecf-dev mailing list].

The [[OSGi_Remote_Services_and_ECF | ECF Architecture]] also allows the use of multiple distribution providers.  Further, ECF's open APIs and implementations supports the creation of custom distribution providers using any desired transport protocols, serialization formats and/or libraries.

This set of projects enhances the [https://wiki.eclipse.org/Distribution_Providers#Generic_Provider ECF generic providers] to use [https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/kryo Kryo serialization] rather than Java serialization.  [https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/kryo Kryo serialization] is a fast and efficient object serialization for Java.

The ECF team has created several REST-based Remote Service providers, all of which are based upon the Jax-RS specification.  By using OSGi Remote Service standards along with Jax-RS standards, it's possible to create remote services that can be used on any compliant Jax-RS implementation, and any RSA-compliant Remote Services implementation.  For a tutorial on how this can work, see [[Tutorial:_Using_REST_and_OSGi_Standards_for_Micro_Services  | the tutorial Using REST and OSGi Standards for Micro Services]].

Since REST is based upon a client-server model of services, Remote Services based upon rest may only be exported on servers.  Clients may import, but are unable to export Remote Services.

Introduction

New: ECF OSGi R7 Remote Services. The R7 Remote Services adds the standardization of several intents. One of those intents is the [osgi.async intent], which allows remote services to be invoked asynchronously (non-blocking) rather than synchronously (blocking). Supporting async and the other standardized intents: osgi.basic, osgi.private, osgi.confidential requires a distribution provider that supports that intent. For each distribution provider below, the currently supported intents are listed. To request support for an unsupported intent, please post the request to the ecf-dev mailing list.

The Remote Services/Remote Service Admin specifications (chaps 100 and 122 in OSGi Enterprise spec) allows for the use of multiple distribution providers. Distribution providers are responsible for the actual marshalling/serialization and network communication when a consumer invokes a remote service method.

The ECF Architecture also allows the use of multiple distribution providers. Further, ECF's open APIs and implementations supports the creation of custom distribution providers using any desired transport protocols, serialization formats and/or libraries.

Remote Services API

ECF's API for distribution providers is the Remote Services API (RSAPI). Implementing this API is the only thing required to create a RS/RSA standards compliant distribution provider.

Symbolic Name: org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice
Minimum EE: J2SE-1.7+
Dependencies

  • Framework: OSGi R6+ (Equinox Mars+)

JMS/ActiveMQ Providers

JMS/ActiveMQ providers are based upon the Java Messaging Service (JMS) specification version 1.1+.

OSGi Configuration Types/ECF Container Types

ecf.jms.activemq.tcp.client

OSGi R7 Supported Intents

osgi.async, osgi.basic, osgi.private

Bundles

Binary for the JMS provider, along with Karaf feature spec is available here

The ECF team has created a Remote Service provider based upon the MQTT3 Paho implementation. We are currently using Paho version 1.0.2.

OSGi Configuration Types/ECF Container Types

ecf.jms.mqtt.manager
ecf.jms.mqtt.client

OSGi R7 Supported Intents

osgi.async, osgi.basic, osgi.private

Jax-RS Providers

The ECF team has created several REST-based Remote Service providers, all of which are based upon the Jax-RS specification. By using OSGi Remote Service standards along with Jax-RS standards, it's possible to create remote services that can be used on any compliant Jax-RS implementation, and any RSA-compliant Remote Services implementation. For a tutorial on how this can work, see the tutorial Using REST and OSGi Standards for Micro Services.

Since REST is based upon a client-server model of services, Remote Services based upon rest may only be exported on servers. Clients may import, but are unable to export Remote Services.

Providers created via ECF REST API

ECF has provided an API to aid in the creation of REST-based Remote Services provider. Using this API, it's possible to create a Remote Service client/proxy that uses an existing REST-based service. Thus new Remote Services can be created to expose an existing REST-based service. The following tutorial: ECF Remote Services for Accessing Existing REST Services describes how to use the ECF REST API to create client provider to access an existing REST service.

OSGi Configuration Types/ECF Container Types

ecf.rest.client

As mentioned above, only REST servers may export Remote Services, so the ecf.rest.client provider may not export Remote Services.

Kryo Serialization

This set of projects enhances the ECF generic providers to use Kryo serialization rather than Java serialization. Kryo serialization is a fast and efficient object serialization for Java.

See the example of usage and documentation described on the main Kryo serialization project page.
