Question

I am in the process of developing a Spring app. As it stands the app is currently run as follows by a main class:

import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

public class Bootstrap {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring-integration-demo.xml");
    }

}

I would like to integrate my app into Apache Karaf (or integrate Apache Karaf into my app?).

I am not sure where and how to start. Can someone please provide basic advice and/or pointer to relevant documentation?

Answer 1

It seems my app has to be an OSGI bundle. Furthermore all its jars/dependencies also have to be bundles.

A good way to deploy the bundles is to drop them into the /deploy directory of Karaf.
