iPOJO is a service component runtime aiming to simplify OSGi application development. It natively supports ALL the dynamism of OSGi. Based on the concept of POJO, application logic is developed easily. Non-functional properties are just injected in the component at runtime.

iPOJO's points of strength include:

  • components are developed as POJOs - nothing else is required!
  • the component model is extensible, so feel free to adapt it to your needs
  • the standard component model manages service providing and service dependencies, and so can require any other OSGi services
  • iPOJO manages the component instance lifecycle and the environment dynamics as never before possible
  • iPOJO provides a powerful composition system to create highly dynamic applications
  • iPOJO supports annotations, XML, and a Java-based API to define components
