This is a walkthrough of the Distributed OSGi Greeter Demo. It should help users of the Distributed OSGi get started with it.

The greeter demo can be found in the samples/greeter directory and implements a simple OSGi Greeter Service and a consumer to that service with a trivial UI.

The Greeter demo design

The demo is composed of 3 bundles:

• The Greeter Interface bundle
• The Greeter Service Implementation bundle
• The Greeter Service Consumer bundle
  The Greeter Interface bundle exports the GreeterInterface which both other bundles depend on. This is the interface:

  Code Block
  java java
  public interface GreeterService { Map<GreetingPhrase, String> greetMe(String name) throws GreeterException; }

  The GreetingPhase and GreeterException classes are also defined by this bundle.
