The document discusses leveraging OSGi for creating extensible plugins in Liferay 6.2, emphasizing the modularity OSGi brings to Liferay's plugins, enhancing maintainability, reusability, and market opportunities. An example of a shipping cost calculator is provided to illustrate the benefits of developing a core application with country-specific modules. The presentation outlines basic OSGi concepts, the structure of bundles, package dependencies, and the future shift anticipated with Liferay 7, which will simplify the development process.

- 1. Leveraging OSGi to Create Extensible Plugins for Liferay 6.2 Eduardo García edupgv@ Julio Camarero juliocamarero@ Core Engineers at Liferay, Inc Milen Dyankov milendyankov@ Senior Consultant at Liferay, Inc
- 3. ... and Liferay already allowed for modularity ...
- 5. ... but modules are not modular !!!
- 6. OSGi brings into Liferay modularity of modules !!!
- 8. ...
- 10. Let’s see an example… A Shipping Cost Calculator https://github.com/epgarcia/liferay-plugins/commits/LRNAS2014.OSGI
- 11. final price common features for all countries specific features for each country
- 12. we could… Develop a very complex and laborious application that covers all possible cases Release a new version every time any shipping cost algorithm changes or we add new countries Develop a simple core application that covers only the common features Make the application extensible with country modules“ ” If a shipping algorithm changes, our core application remains the same and only that specific extension must be changed
- 13. will be the future of all Liferay 7 applications ...
- 14. ... because it’s all advantages! improves maintainability maximizes reusability simplification of releases (independent) new market opportunities (extensions)
- 15. App ver. 1 App ver. 2 App ver. 3 time size ...
- 16. App ver. 1 App ver. 2 time size ... ext 1 ver. 1 ext 1 ver. 2 ext 1 ver. 3 ext 2 ver. 3 ext 2 ver. 1 ext 2 ver. 2 ext 3 ver. 1 ext 1 ver. 4 ext 3 ver. 2
- 17. But OSGi makes this possible already in Liferay 6.2 !
- 18. In fact, Audience Targeting, the first Liferay 6.2 application following this approach, is already available on Marketplace!
- 19. Sounds great, but I have no idea about OSGi…
- 20. OSGi basic concepts in 3 minutes! (or what you need to understand before we continue)
- 21. OSGi bundles (this is what our plug-ins are) manifestmanifestmanifestmanifest manifest Manifest-Version: 1.0 Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2 Bundle-Name: Shipping Impl Bundle-SymbolicName: com.liferay.shipping.impl Bundle-Vendor: Liferay, Inc. Bundle-Version: 1.0.0 Private-Package: com.liferay.shipping.impl.model,com.liferay.shipping.impl.util Require-Capability: osgi.ee;filter:="(&(osgi.ee=JavaSE)(version=1.6))" . . . #1
- 22. #1 OSGi bundles (this is what our plug-ins are) manifestmanifestmanifestmanifest manifest Manifest-Version: 1.0 Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2 Bundle-Name: Shipping Impl Bundle-SymbolicName: com.liferay.shipping.impl Bundle-Vendor: Liferay, Inc. Bundle-Version: 1.0.0 Private-Package: com.liferay.shipping.impl.model,com.liferay.shipping.impl.util Require-Capability: osgi.ee;filter:="(&(osgi.ee=JavaSE)(version=1.6))" . . . All modern build tools (Ant, Maven, Gradle, ...) can build OSGi bundles! So can Liferay SDK !
- 23. Package dependencies (this is how we describe what we provide and expect) Import-Package: com.liferay.shipping.api.model, com.liferay.shipping.api.util, com.liferay.portal.kernel.io.unsync;resolution:=optional, com.liferay.portal.kernel.util;resolution:=optional, freemarker.cache;resolution:=optional, freemarker.template;resolution:=optional Export-Package: com.liferay.shipping.api.model;version="1.0.0", com.liferay.shipping.api.util;version="1.0.0" manifestmanifestmanifestmanifest manifest EXPORT EXPORT #2
- 24. manifestmanifestmanifestmanifest manifest EXPORT EXPORT Package dependencies (this is how we describe what we provide and expect) Import-Package: com.liferay.shipping.api.model, com.liferay.shipping.api.util, com.liferay.portal.kernel.io.unsync;resolution:=optional, com.liferay.portal.kernel.util;resolution:=optional, freemarker.cache;resolution:=optional, freemarker.template;resolution:=optional Export-Package: com.liferay.shipping.api.model;version="1.0.0", com.liferay.shipping.api.util;version="1.0.0" #2
- 25. #2 manifestmanifestmanifestmanifest manifest EXPORT EXPORT Package dependencies (this is how we describe what we provide and expect) Import-Package: com.liferay.shipping.api.model, com.liferay.shipping.api.util, com.liferay.portal.kernel.io.unsync;resolution:=optional, com.liferay.portal.kernel.util;resolution:=optional, freemarker.cache;resolution:=optional, freemarker.template;resolution:=optional Export-Package: com.liferay.shipping.api.model;version="1.0.0", com.liferay.shipping.api.util;version="1.0.0" The BND tool (bnd.bndtools.org) can discover dependencies and automatically generate export/import manifest headers! Liferay SDK also allows you to use BND tool!
- 26. OSGi services (this is how we provide and consume functionality) manifestmanifestmanifest manifest OSGi service registry Interface Service 1 ... Service N #3
- 27. OSGi services (this is how we provide and consume functionality) manifestmanifestmanifest OSGi service registry Interface Service 1 ... Service N REGISTER REGISTER USE manifest #3
- 28. #3 OSGi services (this is how we provide and consume functionality) manifestmanifestmanifest OSGi service registry Interface Service 1 ... Service N REGISTER REGISTER USE manifest There are number of component frameworks on top of OSGi (Declarative Services and Blueprint being part of the specs) which greatly simplify the usage of services!
- 29. Sounds great, but how OSGi fits into Liferay ?
