THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
This page describes the CXF Distributed OSGi with Declarative Services demo.
The Declarative Services demo uses a DS implementation to create a remoted OSGi service from a DS component. The consumer side uses DS to create a component that consumes the remote OSGi service. By using Declarative Services, you don't need to write code to interact with the OSGi Service Registry. That's all handled through injection which hugely simpliefies the code.
Declarative Services is similar to Spring-DM/OSGi Blueprint in that service dependencies are satisfied through injection. There are a few differences as well. DS is lighter weight than Spring-DM but also has less features. Declarative Services have been part of the OSGi specifications since version 4.0.
This demo can be used with any DOSGi distribution, in this document the single-bundle distribution is used with the Equinox implementation of DS.
