Rod Johnson discusses the Spring Portfolio, the Oracle/BEA and Sun/MySQL acquisitions, Java EE 6, Tomcat and Spring, Spring Dynamic Modules, the future of enterprise Java, the benefits of OSGi for application developers, the Covalent acquisition and Spring 3.0. Johnson also alludes to the SpringSource Application Platform, which was announced a month after this interview was filmed.
In this presentation from QCon San Francisco 2007, Adrian Colyer describes the OSGi specification, OSGi implementations, modularity, versioning, operational control, server-side OSGi, design considerations, using existing libraries, Spring Dynamic Modules, and writing a Spring Dynamic Modules application.
SpringSource today became an appserver vendor, challenging the existing Java EE server establishment with the SpringSource Application Platform, an application server built on Spring, OSGi, and Apache Tomcat. The new appserver departs from the Java EE standards, exposing the Spring programming model natively, along with a new deployment and packaging system (no EAR files), built over an OSGi core.
