For some time, ECF has had remote service distribution providers that use the Jersey or the CXF implementation of standard Java API for RESTful Web Services (JaxRS).
These distribution providers allow OSGi R7 Remote Services to be defined via JaxRS annotations and implemented by either Jersey 2.28 or CXF 3.3.
OSGi R7 Remote Services provides support for renite service discovery, dynamics, versioning, configuration and extension of the distribution providers, and asynchronous remote calls as well as other features of the OSGi R7 Remote Services and Remote Service Admin specs.
This tutorial shows the use of OSGi Remote Services with these JaxRS distribution providers on Apache Karaf.
There is also a new version of the ECF Bndtools workspace template with example Bndtools projects showing the use of these distribution providers to define, configure, run and deploy RESTful OSGi R7 Remote Services with Bndtools 4.2+.
